如何使用这个Simple Budget Worksheet模板
List your income
Enter all income sources - salary, side income, or any other earnings. The template keeps it to one simple section.
List your expenses
Fill in the pre-built expense categories with your monthly amounts. Common items like rent, groceries, and utilities are already listed.
Check the balance
The net balance at the bottom shows income minus expenses. A positive number means surplus; negative means overspending.
Adjust as needed
If the balance is negative, review expenses to find areas where spending could be reduced. All totals update automatically.

常见问题
How is this different from other budget templates?
This is the most minimal option - just income, expenses, and a balance. No dashboards, no charts, no percentages. It is a starting point for people who want simplicity.
Can I add more expense categories?
Yes. Insert new rows above the totals row and enter your additional categories. The SUM formulas adjust to include new rows automatically.
Does it track monthly or weekly?
The template is set up for monthly tracking. You can use it weekly by entering weekly amounts - just be consistent with the time period across all entries.
Is there a savings category?
There is a savings row in the expense section. Treating savings as an expense ensures it is accounted for before discretionary spending.
如何在 Google Sheets 中打开?
将 .xlsx 文件上传到 Google Drive,然后使用 Google Sheets 打开。所有公式和格式都会保留。
