Bill Tracking
Track recurring bills, see what's due soon, and never miss a payment again.
Between rent, utilities, streaming services, insurance, subscriptions, and loan payments, the average household manages more recurring bills than any one person can reliably keep track of in their head. A missed payment isn't just an inconvenience — it can mean late fees, service interruptions, or a ding on your credit score. Tandem's bill tracker keeps the whole list visible so nothing slips.
Add each bill once with its amount, due date, and recurrence schedule. Tandem shows you what's due soon in a clear upcoming view, so you can plan cash flow for the week ahead rather than scrambling when a notification arrives. When you make a payment, mark it paid — the whole household sees the status update immediately.
Shared visibility is especially valuable for households where more than one person handles finances. With Tandem, both people can see the full picture, catch anything that's been missed, and stay on the same page without needing to run a monthly "bills meeting."
How it works

Add your bills
Enter each bill with a name, amount, due date, and how often it recurs — monthly, quarterly, annually, or a custom schedule.

See what's due soon
The upcoming view shows bills due in the next week or month so you can plan ahead and move money before due dates arrive.
- 3
Mark as paid
When you've made a payment, mark the bill as paid. The status updates for the whole household instantly.
- 4
Track spending over time
Bills feed into Tandem's budget view so you can see how much of your monthly budget is committed to fixed expenses.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I track bills that recur on different schedules?
- Yes. Each bill has its own recurrence schedule — monthly, quarterly, annually, or a custom interval. Tandem handles them all and surfaces them in the upcoming view as they approach.
- Can multiple people in the household see and update bills?
- Yes. Bills are fully shared across the household. Any member can mark a bill as paid, and everyone sees the updated status immediately.
- Does Tandem send payment reminders?
- Bills appear on the shared calendar and in the upcoming bills list as due dates approach. Push notification reminders are on the roadmap.
- How does bill tracking connect to budgeting?
- Bills can be linked to budget categories, so your committed monthly expenses are automatically reflected in your household budget. This gives you a more accurate picture of what's actually available to spend.
- Can I track one-off bills, or only recurring ones?
- Both. You can add a bill without a recurrence for one-time expenses you want to track alongside your regular bills.
