Household bills and renewals: a reminder list
Most bills pay themselves by direct debit. What slips is the admin around them: the meter reading, the subscription you meant to cancel, the insurance that quietly renews at a higher price. Here’s the list.
How it looks in the app. Tick one.
The whole list
Every month
Pay the rent
On a set day, if it isn’t automatic.
Send the meter readings
Bills based on real use, not estimates.
Pay off the credit card
In full, before the interest starts.
Split the shared costs
Settle up with whoever you share with.
Every 3 months
Go through subscriptions
Cancel the ones you forgot you had.
Look over the bank statements
Spot odd charges and price rises.
Check the water bill
Often quarterly. Make sure it went out.
Once a year
Car insurance renewal
Compare quotes a few weeks before, not the day after.
Home or contents insurance renewal
Renewal prices creep up for loyal customers.
Check the energy tariff
When a fixed deal ends, you roll onto a pricier one.
Check the broadband and phone deals
Out of contract usually means paying more.
Do the tax return
If you file one, well before the deadline.
Keeping it going
Set days for fixed dates
Rent on the last day of the month, a bill on the 15th. The chore comes back on that day, whenever you ticked it.
A reminder, not a bank
The app never sees your money or your accounts. It just makes sure you remember to look.
Show up early for renewals
A renewal can surface ahead of its day, so there is time to compare before it rolls over.
Share it with your partner
Both of you see what is coming up and who already dealt with it. No more “did you pay that?”
Keep this list in Chores Machine
Add the chores once, say how often, and forget about them. Each one stays out of sight until it is due, then one tap clears it.
No account needed to start.
Free to start, as many lists as you like. Sharing the list with a partner is Pro, and one subscription covers everyone in it.
