Frequently Asked Questions
How many goals can I track?
The template supports multiple goals simultaneously. Add rows for each new goal - vacation, emergency fund, down payment, or any other savings target.
How is the target date calculated?
The template divides remaining amount by your average monthly contribution to estimate how many months until the goal is reached.
Can I adjust goal targets later?
Yes. Change the target amount or date at any time. The progress percentage and projected completion recalculate automatically.
Does it track interest earned?
The template tracks contributions only. If your savings account earns interest, add the interest as a separate contribution entry to keep balances accurate.
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.
