Frequently Asked Questions
How many goals can I track?
The template supports multiple goals at once. Add rows for short-term targets like vacations and long-term ones like a home down payment.
How is the completion date estimated?
The template divides the remaining amount by your monthly contribution to estimate how many months until the target is reached.
Can I change goal priorities?
Yes. Update the priority field at any time. Use priority to guide where extra contributions go when you have money beyond regular amounts.
What happens when a goal is reached?
The progress percentage shows 100% when the saved amount meets or exceeds the target. You can remove it or keep it for records.
How do I open this in Google Sheets?
Upload the .xlsx file to Google Drive, then open it with Google Sheets. All formulas and formatting will be preserved.
