Expense Tracking Spreadsheet Template
A comprehensive expenses spreadsheet, perfected over almost 9 years of use, that does all the math for you. So you know if the math is mathing.
Start figuring out where your finances are holding, how much you need to earn, and create a realistic plan of next steps towards reaching your money goals.
Try out tracking your expenses for a month and see how your mindset (and your stress around finances) changes.
Do you earn enough?
Over the course of helping designers with various income challenges, I’ve been noticing a pattern of people missing solid knowledge of their finances, leaving them wondering -
-
Am I making enough money to cover my expenses?
-
How much do I need to earn to make ends meet?
-
Or even, you know you’re not making enough, but aren’t sure by how much, what expenses to cut, or how to make more when you don’t have more time to dedicate to working
These questions feel like they shouldn’t exist. Or at least, I don’t want them to exist.

Know your numbers
I’m so passionate about the importance of understanding your personal and business finances, knowing how much money is going in and coming out.
Having clarity on how much you earn, where the money is coming from, and what you can do to earn enough.
Knowing what your “enough number” is.
Knowing your numbers makes it 10x easier to reach them.
If you want to gain clarity on your numbers and money goals - you need a solid, dependable expenses spreadsheet and process (the same one my husband and I have been using for almost 9 years) to start figuring out where your finances are holding, how much you need to earn, your unique work situation and needs, and create a realistic plan of next steps towards reaching your money goals.
