How to use our free budget template in Google Sheets.
Are you looking for a simple way to create and manage your budget? We've created a free budget template in Google Sheets that makes it easy to track your income, expenses, and savings. Here's how to get started:
Step 1: Make a Copy of the Template
First, open the budget template in your web browser. To use it for your own budget, click File > Make a copy. This will create a new copy of the template in your own Google Drive that you can edit and customize.
Step 2: Update Income & Expenses
In the copied spreadsheet, go to the "Budget" tab. Here you'll see sections to enter your monthly income as well as expenses across various categories like housing, transportation, food, entertainment, and more.
Update the amounts in each row to match your own income sources and typical monthly expenses. The template will automatically total everything up.
