How to Use This Template
Set your weekly budget
Go to Weekly Setup and enter your expected weekly income and budget targets for each spending category. These become the baseline for every week.
Log each week as it happens
In the Week 1 through 4 budget sheets, enter actual income and expenses for each week. The remaining balance updates as you add entries.
Record transactions in the Expense Log
For a detailed transaction record, log each expense in the Expense Log with the week number, date, category, and amount. Totals feed into the Monthly Summary.
Track the full year in the 52-Week Overview
At the end of each week, enter the week's totals in the 52-Week Overview. Over time, this builds a full-year record of weekly income, spending, and savings.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are the weekly budget sheets organized?
The Week 1 through Week 4 budget sheets are combined into a single sheet (week-1-4-budget) with a tab for each week. Each week has its own income and expense section with category rows matching the Weekly Setup targets.
How many expenses can I log?
The Expense Log supports up to 200 individual transactions. Each entry is assigned to a week number and category. The Monthly Summary pulls from the Expense Log to calculate category totals.
What does the 52-Week Overview show?
A row for each of 52 weeks showing income, total spending, and net savings. Entering weekly totals throughout the year builds a full-year picture of week-by-week performance.
How does the monthly summary work?
The Monthly Summary adds up all four weeks in the month per category and compares to your monthly budget target (4 times the weekly target). Variance columns show which categories ran over or under for the month.
Is this suitable for variable weekly income?
Yes. Each week has its own income row so you can enter what actually arrived that week rather than a fixed amount. The 52-Week Overview shows how income varied week by week across the year.
