Hand-picked across categories - start here if you're not sure what to pick
Monthly Budget
Categories grouped into sections - income, housing, transport, food, utilities, insurance and more - each subtotalling itself, so areas of spending compare directly. The Essentials Monthly Budget spreadsheet template puts budget, actual and the difference on every line, adds a share-of-income column that stays comparable between a good month and a lean one, and reports a savings rate on the Dashboard. Google Sheets and Excel, one file. No macros, no VBA.
Debt Payoff Calculator
Eight debts, each carrying its own balance, rate, minimum payment and a months-at-minimum figure, then one extra payment field applied across the whole set. The Essentials Debt Payoff Calculator spreadsheet template runs smallest-balance-first and highest-rate-first in parallel so the interest difference between them is visible, and a full schedule shows both balances falling month by month. Dashboard, Debt Setup, Payoff Schedule, How to Use. Google Sheets and Excel, one file. No macros, no VBA.
Retirement Calculator
The projection carries past the finish line: contributions through the working years, then withdrawals from the year after the retirement age you set, in one year-by-year table. The Essentials Retirement Calculator spreadsheet template reports the balance at retirement, a sustainable monthly income, the years it funds and total contributions, with a chart of the savings building and then drawing down. Three working sheets and two charts. Google Sheets and Excel. No macros, no VBA.
Invoice Tracker
A due date and the date it was actually paid on every one of thirty invoices, with the status coming from a validated dropdown - paid, pending or overdue. The Essentials Invoice Tracker spreadsheet template reports the outstanding balance apart from the overdue amount, puts total invoiced against total paid, and adds an average invoice value and a count. Two working sheets and a chart. Google Sheets and Excel in one file. No macros, no VBA.
Investment Portfolio Tracker
A name beside every ticker and a percentage return on each position, so holdings of very different sizes can be compared. The Essentials Investment Portfolio Tracker spreadsheet template carries 20 holdings, works out market value and gain per position, and puts total portfolio value and total gain on a dashboard with a chart of how the value splits between holdings. Google Sheets and Excel, one file. No macros, no VBA.
Home Mortgage Calculator
Enter the home price and the deposit as a percentage and the loan derives itself, then property tax and insurance fold in to give one full monthly figure. The Essentials Home Mortgage Calculator spreadsheet template splits that payment on a pie chart, mortgage insurance included, and runs a dated schedule on real calendar months where extra payments come off the principal and pull the payoff date in. Three working sheets and two charts. Google Sheets or Excel. No macros, no VBA.
FIRE Calculator
The withdrawal rate becomes an input here, and the target portfolio is derived from whatever you set. Feed in your current age and the Essentials FIRE Calculator spreadsheet template answers with a year rather than a duration, laying the path out row by row with balance, savings, growth and retirement cost, and flagging the year the portfolio reaches target. Six figures on the Dashboard. Four tabs, Google Sheets and Excel. No macros, no VBA.
Net Worth Tracker
Accounts down the side, the twelve months across the top, so a year of history lives in one grid rather than in twelve files. The Essentials Net Worth Tracker spreadsheet template groups assets into five categories covering cash, investments, retirement, property and the rest, lists liabilities beneath as ordinary positive balances, and adds a month-on-month change row. Two working sheets, two charts and a dashboard of six figures. Google Sheets or Excel. No macros, no VBA.
