1. Personal Expenses Tracker

For a neat and clean way to track your personal expenses, give this template a try. The workbook includes three sections for a dashboard, expense log, and category setup.

You can get a clear picture of your expenses with the dashboard. The interactive graph lets you apply filters to view expenses by month, category, or subcategory. The expense log is where you enter each item with the date, category, subcategory, amount, and an optional note.

Those transactions will then automatically display on the dashboard. The category setup area is pre-populated with common categories and subcategories, but you can edit this easily.

2. Personal Weekly Budget Spreadsheet

While many people work from a monthly budget, you may prefer to manage your money weekly. This workbook includes both weekly and biweekly templates for an entire month. Plus, you can view the handy month-to-date totals.

The top of the template provides you with a quick glance at your income, expenses, and projected ending balance. These amounts are automatically populated based on your entries below it. You can enter various income types such as wages, interest, and gifts.

Then, move down to your expenses which are separated nicely by category. These categories include home, health, transportation, and subscription expenses.

3. Money Tracker

The Money Tracker template works in Microsoft Excel on your desktop as well as your mobile device. While its intent is to help teenagers and young adults easily manage their money, anyone can use it.

You can manage your cash, checking account, credit account, and savings within one single workbook. As you enter the transaction amounts, the balance at the top adjusts for each section.

You can change the categories used in the settings area of the workbook along with payees, credit accounts, and savings funds. Then when you add transactions, you just select one from the list.

4. Home Budget Worksheet

If what you really need is a complete and detailed home budgeting tool, then this template is ideal. You simply enter your income and expenses to manage your household budget on a monthly basis.

The portion at the top displays net income minus expenses along with predicted and actual ending balances. Once you enter income from work, gifts, or interest, you then pop in your expenses for the top to populate.

You will notice that the expenses are conveniently categorized by deductible and non-deductible. With many categories from business expenses and charities to daily living and utilities, this is a helpful spreadsheet for managing your money by month.

5. Credit Account Register

If you like to watch your credit account closely and make sure things match up when you receive your statement, this template is for you.

You can begin easily by entering your credit limit and percentage ratio at the top. Then, just enter transactions along with dates, descriptions, categories, and amounts below it. You can also add a tag or memo, and an R or C to indicate reconcile or cleared, respectively.

You can see your ending balance after each entry and check out a category summary. You can also open the settings tab to change the categories and payees if needed.

6. Credit Card Payoff Calculator

To find out when that credit card will be paid off, use this handy calculator. Just enter the balance owed, interest rate percentage, minimum monthly payment, and proposed monthly payment.

You will then see how many months it will take to pay off the credit card by making only the minimum payment compared to the proposed payment. You can also look at how much total interest you will be paying based on the minimum and proposed payments as well.

This is a terrific way to adjust proposed payment amounts based on your budget to get that card paid off quickly.

7. Debt Reduction Calculator

If you have more debt than just a single credit account, this calculator is a great tool. You just add credit card, auto loan, and student loan details, pick a strategy, and then view the payment schedule.

First, fill out the creditor information table and then select your strategy from a variety of options. You can pick snowball, which starts with the lowest balance first, or avalanche, which is the exact opposite. You can also use the order displayed in the creditor information table or create a custom strategy.

Then, move over to the payment schedule sheet to view all the details based on the strategy you choose. The key to success with this debt reduction calculator is sticking to that schedule.

8. Retirement Budget Planner

When you want to get a general idea of what monies will be needed when you retire, check out this planner. This can help you start to prepare and have a good inkling before you speak to an advisor.

Begin by entering your current age and age of retirement. Then, enter your income sources followed by housing, personal, daily living, and medical expenses.

The summary at the bottom will adjust based on your entries. This shows you the annual income required, estimated income, and annual income shortfall.

9. Event Budget Template

If you need to plan one or more events, this budget template can help you prepare easily. The workbook includes sheets for a camping event, seminar, and bike race. However, these are basically samples that you can use and edit to fit your event.

Enter a description, select a category, and add a quantity and unit cost for each expense. As you do this, you will see the area at the top adjust to provide you a summary. You can review the budget summary as well as expenses with income in a nifty graph. You will also see expense amounts broken out by category. This is useful if you have a strict budget for certain items like the location or supplies.

10. Wedding Budget

When the event you are planning is a wedding, use a budget planner created specifically for that special day. Every category needed from simple ceremonies to extravagant weddings is already in this template for you.

This workbook uses two sheets to budget your wedding. The first is the wedding budget information sheet. You will enter your contribution amount and then amounts for each item, from clothing to decorations. Those amounts are then automatically populated on the budget estimator sheet.

The goal is to stay within the estimated amounts and you will see any variances on the wedding budget sheet. This will allow you to easily see where you can cut corners if needed.
