Recommend a finances planning website/app/chart

Options
I'm trying to plan out a 10 year period of time, that shows current finances, plus additional finances that are coming in 18 months time, and again in 8 years time.  And also show interest expected in that time.  But also shows a monthly outgoing.

Ideally I'd like to show it/plot it in months.

Obviously all figures will be approximates, and anything could happen etc, but wasn't sure if there are any websites/app/charts that could do this easily? 
I know what I'm after, and hoping to see, just unsure of how to start plotting it.  
Thank you all in advance

    I personally use a spreadsheet for this kind of thing.  You can start of simple, and extend to provide as much detail and texture that you want in time.  Others may have templates they can point you to, my own is very personal and customised to my view of the world!

    All you need is Excel.

    Other spreadsheet options are Google Sheets or Libre Office Calc.  I use both extensively.

    Also Numbers if your are part of the Apple ecosystem.  I'm not so can't vouch for how useful that tool is.

    Pretty much just as functional as Excel - you just need to be used to some minor differences.

    It might take a bit of setting up but MS Money can do this sort of thing. Long ago Microsoft 'sunset' the software and made it free to use.
