Proper Spreadsheets

A budget spreadsheet built round your money

Most budget templates are somebody else's categories with your numbers typed into them. Describe how you actually get paid and what you actually spend, and you get a file that already has the right rows.

  • Free to design and preview
  • No account, no sign up
  • Designing one never needs your figures

  1. 1Describe itIn your own words. No jargon, no template to pick.
  2. 2Preview itSee every tab, column and formula before you decide. Change anything.
  3. 3Download itA finished .xlsx that opens in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers.

What you get

  • Income and outgoings on separate tabs, so you can see both
  • Categories you named, not the ones a template guessed
  • A running total and what is left, worked out for you
  • Red cells when a category goes over what you set for it

We do not store your spreadsheet or anything you put in it. You describe the structure you want; we send back that structure with a few example rows, held only until you collect it. When you design a spreadsheet here, your figures never reach us: what you type into the file stays on your own computer.
