Overview
See exactly where your money goes
This is a done-for-you expense tracker that works the moment you download it. Type what you spend, pick a category from the dropdown, and watch your dashboard, monthly trends and category breakdown update themselves. No formulas to build, no subscription, no app to learn.
You only ever type in the blue cells; everything else is done for you. It comes with sample data so you can see how it works, then clear it in one step and make it yours — identical in Excel and Google Sheets, on phone, tablet or laptop.
It also comes in three looks — Colorful, Light and Dark. Use the color switch on this page to preview each one; every purchase includes all three, so you can pick the style that fits you.
What's Included

- A 2-page step-by-step Quick-Start guide (PDF)

Who It's For

How It Works
Three steps to get going

On Settings, set your year and make the dropdown categories your own.
Pick a category from the dropdown — the dashboard, trends and breakdown do the rest.
Why It's Different
Spending clarity, without the setup
Most people never track expenses because building a spreadsheet from scratch is tedious and error-prone. This one works the moment you download it: type what you spend, pick a category, and every report updates itself. Rename a category and it updates everywhere.
It's fully editable where you need it and comes with sample data so you can see how it works before making it yours. Personal or small business, it fits a household budget, a side hustle or a small shop.
Delivery & Compatibility
Instant, and works with what you use
As soon as your order is complete you'll get instant access to download the spreadsheet, plus a copy by email. Prefer Google Sheets for real-time updates and dropdowns? It's fully optimized. More comfortable in Excel? It works just as well.
Built and tested in the latest Excel (Office 365). On Mac we recommend the Google Sheets version — the template is not compatible with Apple Numbers. Available in English. The template is delivered blank; the images and video show sample data to demonstrate how it looks once filled in.
