Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work in Google Sheets?

Yes. Your PDF guide has a link that makes your own Google Sheets copy in one click, with no upload needed. Share it with your partner so you both see the same budget. It also works in Excel 2019 or later and Microsoft 365.

How do I start a new month?

Save a copy of the file, change the month on Setup, clear the spending log and reset the bills to unpaid. The steps are printed on the Setup tab. Want all twelve months in one file? That is our Yearly Budget Spreadsheet.

Can couples use it?

Yes. Turn on couples mode, add both names and pick a 50/50 or by-income split. Log who paid each shared cost and the Couples tab works out each partner's fair share and who owes whom. Joint-account spending is counted as already shared.

Is it a download or a subscription?

A one-time download. Pay once and the files are yours to reuse every month.
