The Executive Budget

What's inside

Every tracker a real budget needs — none of the bloat it doesn't.

No tabs to dig through. No tutorial required. Open it, and the whole month is right there.

Income

Income Tracker

Log up to 10 income sources with dates and descriptions. Your total income updates the moment you type.

Spending

Expense + Budget Tracker

Set a budget per category, log actuals, and watch "Left to Spend" recalculate in real time — color-coded by status.

Bills

Bills Tracker

Every recurring bill, its due date, and its status, in one glance — so nothing gets paid twice or missed.

Savings

Savings & Goals

Set a target for each goal and track progress automatically, with an overall savings rate front and center.

Debt

Debt Payoff Tracker

Total debt, balance, and interest per account, with a running payoff percentage so progress is visible, not abstract.

Insight

Smart Budget Insights

A built-in summary panel that reads your numbers back to you: budget status, spending pace, safe-to-spend — at a glance.

The detail work

Built like a spreadsheet. Finished like a product.

Most free templates look like free templates — thin gray lines, default fonts, a chart nobody styled. This one was built the way a paid product should be: deliberate color, proper alignment, zero stray formatting.

Every formula tested — zero #REF! or #DIV/0! errors

Who it's for

For anyone who wants their budget to feel like a decision, not a chore.

The new budgeter

You've never tracked spending before and don't want a 12-tab spreadsheet to learn first.

The serial spreadsheet-buyer

You've bought three budget templates already. This is the one you'll actually keep open.

The debt payer-offer

You need to see the balance shrinking, not just believe it is. The debt tracker does that for you.

The gift-giver

A practical gift for someone starting a new job, a new home, or a new year. Send the file, done.

Good to know

Questions, answered before you ask.

What file format do I get? +

A single .xlsx file. It opens in Microsoft Excel and works in Google Sheets and Numbers — formulas and formatting carry over.

Do I need to know Excel to use this? +

No. Every formula is already built in. You only type into the light input cells — income, bills, expenses, goals — and every total, percentage, and chart updates on its own.

Is this a subscription? +

No. It's a one-time payment of $5.99 for the file. No recurring charge, no account, no login.

Can I use a different currency? +

Yes. There's a currency cell at the top of the sheet — change it once and it updates everywhere the symbol appears.

What if I'm not happy with it? +

Reach out within 14 days of purchase and we'll make it right. Because this is a digital download, refunds are handled case by case.

Is this also on Etsy? +

Yes — the exact same file is listed on Etsy if that's where you'd rather check out.
