How to track a Paluwagan online

Running a Paluwagan from a group chat and a notebook is stressful. Here's how to make it automatic and transparent for everyone.

🧭
1

Create the Paluwagan

Go to Paluwagan and create a new group. Enter the contribution amount per cycle and how many members are in the rotation.

2

Add members and schedule

Add each member and set the schedule. BudgetPH auto-generates every round so the full payout order is clear from day one.

3

Record contributions

Each cycle, mark who has paid. Everyone sees the same record, which ends the usual 'nakabayad na ako' confusion.

4

Watch for your turn

BudgetPH highlights when your slot to receive the pot is coming up, so you can plan how to use it.

Frequently asked questions

Can the whole group see the tracker?
You can share the status so everyone agrees on who has paid. Transparency is the point — it builds trust in the group.
How many groups can I run?
One on the Free plan, unlimited on Pro.
