This budget spreadsheet is designed to help you plan your weekly budget over
many weeks. This can help you account for variable expenses and varying billing
cycles.
Define Budget Categories
Edit the existing income and expense categories by changing the labels in the first
column as needed, but do not remove the "Transfer from Savings" category in the
Income table.
If you add or remove a major category, you will need to edit the formulas in the
Summary table (particularly the Total Expenses formula).
If you need to add or insert rows/subcategories, make sure the Total and Average
formulas are copied.
Enter Your Beginning Balance
Add the balances in your spending accounts (cash, checking) to come up with your
beginning spending balance.
Add the balances in your savings accounts and enter that sum as your beginning
savings balance.
Enter the start date and frequency (weekly or bi-weekly). This will update the labels
for each of the columns in the budget table.
Define Your Budget
Using income and expense data from past receipts, balance statements, bills, pay
stubs, and other information that you know about the coming year, fill in the budget
amounts for each of the categories you have defined.
Fixed and Variable Expenses
For fixed expenses, enter the same amount in each column. For monthly bills, enter
the amounts in the weeks in which the bill is due, or the average weekly/biweekly
amount.

For variable expenses such as utility bills, groceries, and birthday gifts, you can
enter the estimated amounts in the weeks that they occur. Or, you can enter an
estimated average.
Transfers To/From Savings
This template treats transfers TO savings as expenses, and transfers FROM savings
as income. This makes sense if you think of an "expense" as money leaving your
spending accounts and "income" as money entering your spending accounts.
Adjustments to Savings
Except for transfers to/from savings, this spreadsheet does not track changes to
your savings accounts such as payments made directly from savings, interest
earned, or gains/losses in investments.
If you want the Savings Balance to reflect these types of changes, then use the
Adjustments to Savings row in the Summary table.
Analyze Your Budget
Ideally, you want your Savings Balance to be increasing over time and you want to
maintain a comfortable cushion in your Spending Balance.
If you are noticing a consistent positive NET (a good thing), then you may want to
allocate more towards savings. If you see a consistent negative NET, then you may
need to make some budget cuts.
Use the "% of Total Expenses" under each major expense category to help you
determine where your money is going.
