Cashline — Personal Budget Spreadsheet

Designed for personal budget projects, this workbook separates raw entry from reporting. You maintain the input sheet, and the derived views recalculate from it rather than needing to be updated by hand.

Formulas are written to be readable rather than clever, which matters when someone other than the author has to change a rate, add a row, or explain a number.

• Owners and managers who track personal budget projects in a spreadsheet rather than dedicated software
• Bookkeepers and analysts who need an auditable file rather than a black box
• Small teams standardising on one shared format
• Anyone replacing an inherited spreadsheet that has grown unmanageable

• Single transaction-entry tab
• Automatic monthly summary charts
• Category breakdown formulas
• Savings-rate calculator
• Single data-entry sheet feeding every downstream view
• Summary view with the headline figures for the period
• Month-over-month comparison with variance
• Category breakdown driven by the entries you record
• Charts that expand automatically as rows are added
• Named ranges throughout, so formulas stay readable
• Input validation on the fields that commonly get mistyped
• Print-ready summary layout sized to one page
