Frequently Asked Questions
Does it convert annual to monthly costs?
Yes. The template automatically converts between billing frequencies. An annual subscription is divided by 12 to show the effective monthly cost.
How do I mark a cancelled subscription?
Change the status to cancelled. The template distinguishes active from cancelled subscriptions and excludes cancelled ones from the spending totals.
Can I group subscriptions by category?
Yes. Categories like streaming, software, fitness, and news help organize subscriptions. You can filter or sort by category to review spending in each area.
How often does it need updating?
Update it when you add, cancel, or change a subscription. A monthly review helps catch forgotten services or price increases.
How do I open this in Google Sheets?
Upload the .xlsx file to Google Drive, then open it with Google Sheets. All formulas and formatting will be preserved.
