Sound familiar?

Before
The spending is in a banking app, the bills are in your head, and the savings goal is on a note.
You find out a bill was due after it was due.
December costs roughly the same every year and surprises you every year.
After
One transaction log feeding a month view, a year view and a funds view.
Bills listed with the day they land, so nothing arrives unannounced.
Sinking funds that set a little aside each month for the costs you already know are coming.

Questions, answered

Do I need a paid Excel version?

Any desktop Excel from 2016 onward works, including Microsoft 365. If you don’t have Excel at all, use the included Google Sheets version. It’s free.

Does it fully work in Google Sheets?

Yes. The Google Sheets version is built natively, not converted: every formula, highlight and protection works the same.

Is this a one-time purchase?

Yes. $8.38 once. You keep the files forever and get free updates to this template.

What’s the refund policy?

Digital downloads on Etsy are generally final, but if the template doesn’t work as described and we can’t fix it for you, you get your money back. Just email support@elecart.us.

What if I get stuck?

Email support@elecart.us and the person who built the template answers, usually within one business day. Etsy Messages works too.

How much data can it handle?

Input tabs are sized generously and tested with full sample data: enough for years of typical use. Need more room? Duplicate the file per year, or email support for an extended version.
