Step 4:

This budget spreadsheet is designed to help you create a budget for an entire year. Doing this can help you make predictions about your future finances. Define Budget Categories Edit the existing income and expense categories by changing the labels in the first column as needed, but do not remove the "Transfer from Savings" category in the Income table. If you add or remove a major category, you will need to edit the formulas in the Summary table (particularly the Total Expenses formula). If you need to add or insert rows/subcategories, make sure the Total and Average formulas are copied. Enter Your Beginning Balance Add the balances in your spending accounts (cash, checking) to come up with your beginning spending balance. Add the balances in your savings accounts and enter that sum as your beginning savings balance. If you wish to start with a month other than January, you can edit the column labels as needed. If you change the labels in the Summary table, the labels in the other tables will update automatically. Define Your Budget Using income and expense data from past receipts, balance statements, bills, pay stubs, and other information that you know about the coming year, fill in the budget amounts for each of the categories you have defined. Fixed and Variable Expenses For fixed expenses, such as rent or mortgage payments, enter the same amount in each month.

1000

For variable expenses such as utility bills, groceries, and birthday gifts, you can enter the estimated amounts in the months that they occur. Or, you can enter an estimated monthly average. Transfers To/From Savings This template treats transfers TO savings as expenses, and transfers FROM savings as income. This makes sense if you think of an "expense" as money leaving your spending accounts and "income" as money entering your spending accounts. Adjustments to Savings Except for transfers to/from savings, this spreadsheet does not track changes to your savings accounts such as payments made directly from savings, interest earned, or gains/losses in investments. If you want the Savings Balance to reflect these types of changes, then use the Adjustments to Savings row in the Summary table. Analyze Your Budget Ideally, you want your Savings Balance to be increasing over time and you want to maintain a comfortable cushion in your Spending Balance. If you are noticing a consistent positive NET (a good thing), then you may want to allocate more towards savings. If you see a consistent negative NET, then you may need to make some budget cuts. Use the "% of Total Expenses" under each major expense category to help you determine where your money is going.
