Excel Spreadsheet

There are plenty of personal or household budget spreadsheets available in internet which is free to download. I have downloaded more than 30 spreadsheets just to find 1 spreadsheet that can accommodate all my need on creating and controlling my personal budget and expenses. But, it is not easy to find the closest one for my need. I review them all, and I have to remove some duplicate spreadsheets (spreadsheets that only have title differences). I also removed some basic personal budget spreadsheets because the creator just create a plain forms. And finally, I found a spreadsheet from about 15 spreadsheets that I have filtered.

If you are the same with me on try to find the personal budget spreadsheets that can suit your needs, you should see these 15 spreadsheets and find the strength and the weaknesses based on your criteria. And I recommend you to download some of them, test the spreadsheets, and do some customization to see whether it suit your needs or need more adjustment. Some spreadsheets came with a very detailed calculation and analysis, some spreadsheets created with nice layouts, and some others came with the simple budget calculation.

All my review here are based on my personal opinion… After you try it, probably you have different opinion than I am.

1. Family Budget

This is a yearly budget where you have to put your budget estimation and actual expenses monthly and you will see in separate worksheet whether your expenses are within your budget or not. Basically this is just a common yearly budget template. There is no guidance inside spreadsheet but I think you will easily understand how to use this spreadsheet.
