About Clear Budget

Built from a real problem.

15+ years working in professional ice shows and contracts around the world.

I'm Tanguy Lepage, a professional figure skater. For more than 15 years, I've worked in shows and contracts around the world — touring on land with Disney on Ice, performing aboard Royal Caribbean cruise ships, and taking individual gigs.

My work has never fit neatly into a traditional monthly salary.

I've had contracts lasting anywhere from one day to ten months. I've been paid for a single day, weekly, biweekly, and across longer contracts.

And that created a surprisingly difficult question:

“How much money am I actually earning — and how much can I expect to have left over during a specific period?”

Most budgeting tools I found didn't really match the way I was paid.

I needed to account for different payment frequencies, exact contract dates, income and expenses occurring at different times, and eventually different currencies.

So I built my own spreadsheet.

It wasn't originally a business. It was simply a tool I needed to understand my own finances.

From a spreadsheet to Clear Budget

Over time, that spreadsheet became more sophisticated.

With the help of AI, I was eventually able to turn the budgeting system I'd built for myself into Clear Budget.

The idea remains the same:

“Different frequencies. Different currencies. Different timelines. One clear Budget.”

Clear Budget is designed for people whose finances don't necessarily fit into a simple monthly template — whether you're paid biweekly, working contracts, freelancing, earning in multiple currencies, or simply trying to understand your money across different periods.

Clear Budget calculates. You decide.

Clear Budget isn't here to tell you what you should spend, save, or invest.

It gives you the calculations and the financial picture so you can understand your own situation and make your own decisions.

No bank connection required. Just your numbers and a clearer picture of them.
