List your expenses
Fill in the pre-built expense categories with your monthly amounts. Common items like rent, groceries, and utilities are already listed.

Preguntas frecuentes
How is this different from other budget templates?
This is the most minimal option - just income, expenses, and a balance. No dashboards, no charts, no percentages. It is a starting point for people who want simplicity.
Can I add more expense categories?
Yes. Insert new rows above the totals row and enter your additional categories. The SUM formulas adjust to include new rows automatically.
Does it track monthly or weekly?
The template is set up for monthly tracking. You can use it weekly by entering weekly amounts - just be consistent with the time period across all entries.
Is there a savings category?
There is a savings row in the expense section. Treating savings as an expense ensures it is accounted for before discretionary spending.
¿Cómo abro esto en Google Sheets?
