Instructions:

Click the link or image above to download the spreadsheet tool.
Open the file. Enter your personal and household expenses in the columns titled “Planned” and “Actual.” You can use the “Insert” function to add new rows or the “Delete” function to remove them as needed. The “Budget balance” table will calculate the total automatically, even if you delete rows or cells. Note: Avoid deleting the “Subtotal” row in each table, as this will affect the budget balance calculation.
If you customize the spreadsheet, be mindful of the formula in the “Budget balance” section. Remember to update it if you add another category to the budget, for instance.

  Hi James, Thanks for your question. You should enter your net income. We will be updating the spreadsheet to reflect this.
