  • What's inside: 6 tabs
  • Delivery: Digital download
  • License: Personal use, single user

Log your income and expenses as they happen and see where your money goes, by category and sub-category, for any period you choose: weekly, biweekly, by paycheck or monthly. A comparison dashboard sets two periods against each other, and two bonus calendars cover your recurring bills and your no-spend days.

What's inside

6-tab spreadsheet

  • Set Up: Set your currency, add up to two withdrawal categories of your own, like Bills or Debt, alongside income, expenses and savings, name up to 15 sub-categories under each, and list up to 10 payment methods.
  • Transactions Log: One row per transaction: the date, category, sub-category, payment method, a short description and the amount. An optional effective-month column files a transaction under a different month, such as income received early for next month.
  • Monthly Dashboard: Set the dates you want to look at and your start balance, and the page fills in from your transactions: what came in, what went out, what you put aside and what's left, by category and sub-category. Charts show your cash flow, your spending by payment method and by date, and your largest withdrawals, and a filtered list shows the period's transactions. Copy the tab to keep a record of each period.
  • Comparison Dashboard: Two date ranges side by side, each with its own start balance, comparing your income, spending and savings by category and sub-category, with payment methods and top withdrawals for each.
  • Bonus Calendar: A monthly calendar of your recurring income, bills and subscriptions, each in its own color, alongside your tasks. Set each one as one-time, weekly, every two weeks or monthly, and it appears on its due dates for a year from the date you set. Today's Top Reminders and Upcoming Transactions sit above the calendar.
  • Bonus No-Spend Calendar: Twelve months at a glance, with every day you spent nothing marked in color, counted from your own transactions. Leave out the sub-categories that you don't want to count, like rent, and set a monthly goal to track against.

Also included

  • Filled example: a copy of the template filled in with sample transactions, to see how it looks in use before you start your own.

Income & Expenses Tracker

FAQ

Where do I start?

On Set Up, with your currency, categories, sub-categories and payment methods. Then log your transactions on the Transactions Log and set the dates you want to look at on Monthly Dashboard.

Does it include a budget?

No. It records what actually comes in and goes out, with no budget amounts to set. If you'd like to set budget amounts and compare them with your spending, the Budget Planner has them alongside the same transaction log and calendars.

What is the difference between the Budget Planner and Income & Expenses Tracker?

The Budget Planner is for setting budget amounts for any period you choose, then comparing those amounts with actual transactions.

The Income & Expenses Tracker is for recording and reviewing actual money coming in and going out, without entering budget amounts.

Both include a Transactions Log, a Comparison Dashboard for two date ranges, a calendar for one-off tasks and recurring income, bills, and subscriptions, and a No-Spend Calendar.

Can I track weekly or by paycheck instead of monthly?

Yes. Each Monthly Dashboard tab covers the start and end dates you set, so it can be a week, two weeks, a pay period or a month. Copy the tab for each new period.

Can I bring in transactions from my bank?

Yes, by copy and paste. The instructions on Set Up walk you through opening your bank's CSV export and pasting it into the Transactions Log. There is no automatic bank connection.

Does it work with my currency?

Yes. Set your currency symbol on Set Up and every tab uses it. The template works in one currency throughout.

Can my partner use it too?

Yes. Share your copy from Google Sheets with the people you manage money with, and everyone works in the same file.

Can I buy it as a gift?

Yes. The license passes to the person you give it to, and you can set it up for them before handing it over.

More questions about access, licensing and orders are answered on the FAQ page.

What customers are saying

“Template came quick and was super user friendly! Instructions were very clear and helpful. As someone who is planning travel abroad for the first time to multiple countries, this has been a dream to work with! All you have to do is put in the information and the sheet does the rest. Would definitely recommend for any first time planners or people who love visuals with their planning! There are so many different sheets in this one including a calendar view which I absolutely loved!”
Madeline · Ultimate Travel Planner · Etsy review
“I've been using a simple excel spreadsheet for my income and expenses and have wanted to upgrade to something more substantial. I though about quickbooks but I don't want the monthly fee and I also don't need anything that complex. This is perfect! It is handy and has great tools without being too difficult to use or needing too much information inputted. I'll be using this for a while!”
