Hoe gebruik je dit 80/20 Budget sjabloon
Enter your income
Type your monthly after-tax income at the top. The template calculates the 80% spending limit and 20% savings target automatically.
Track total spending
Record all expenses in the spending section. The template focuses on total spending rather than detailed category breakdowns.
Verify your savings
Check whether the 20% savings target is met. The dashboard shows how much has been saved vs the target amount.
Adjust the balance
If total spending exceeds 80%, review the largest expense items. The simple two-bucket view makes it easy to see where you stand.
Gebouwd door Claude AI. Verfijnd door ons.
We gebruiken Claude AI om elk sjabloon te ontwerpen, na uitgebreid onderzoek. Daarna neemt ons team het over. We verfijnen de indeling, testen elke formule grondig, lossen randgevallen op en polijsten het ontwerp totdat het iets is dat we zelf ook echt zouden gebruiken. De AI brengt ons 80% van de weg. De laatste 20% is puur menselijk oordeel.
Veelgestelde vragen
Why only two buckets?
The 80/20 approach simplifies budgeting to one rule - save 20% and spend the rest however you need. It is designed for people who do not want detailed category tracking.
Do I need to categorize my expenses?
No. The template tracks total spending against the 80% limit. You can add categories if you want, but the core design does not require them.
Can I change the savings percentage?
Yes. The percentage fields are editable. Adjust the split to 85/15, 75/25, or any ratio that fits your situation.
Where does debt payment go?
Minimum debt payments are part of the 80% spending bucket. Extra payments beyond minimums can go in the 20% savings bucket since they build net worth.
Hoe open ik dit in Google Sheets?
Upload het .xlsx-bestand naar Google Drive en open het vervolgens met Google Sheets. Alle formules en opmaak blijven behouden.
