If you get a calendar from the dollar store and use it just for the 365 day penny challenge, it might be easy to just number the days and follow accordingly.

[…] to save our spare change in a jar. While this may seem redundant, it’s actually very helpful. The 365 Day Penny Challenge is one example. “The concept is saving a penny on the first day and adding a penny to your […]

Takes seconds in excel. List the date in column A.List the day numbers in column B. List from 0.01p to 3.65p in column C. First cell of column D is 0.01p. Second cell is formula D1+C2. Drag this to the bottom and it’s done.

In reply to Kimberly.

Making a chart like that would take a while which is why I haven’t. It took me long enough to make the one in the post. But I did make it in a way to make it easier to determine the date.

If you start at the beginning of the year Day 30 would be January 30th. Day 59 is the end of February, Day 90 is the end of March, Day 120 is the end of April, etc, etc. So to use your example, if 59 is the end of February, 15 days later (March 15th) would be 74.

This year is a leap year and that chart doesn’t factor that in. But you can follow the chart, you’ll just finish on 12/30. You can always add $3.66 on December 31st if you want.

Hope that helps!

I need a chart that shows me what day # a date corresponds with. For example March 15th is what day like, day 47 or is it 45?

Having to keep up with the date numbers all the way up to 365 is the challenge part of this penny challenge. With the Dollar Challenge it’s only done weekly and keeping up with the week number that only goes up to 52 is much easier.
