Before you download

What do I receive?

One editable Excel .xlsx workbook with Overview, Transactions, Claims and Start Here sheets. Instructions and worked examples are built in. Your file is available through Gumroad after successful payment.

What software is needed?

The workbook is prepared for Microsoft Excel and contains no macros. Its formulas were checked in the authoring engine; desktop Excel and other spreadsheet apps have not been independently tested. Spreadsheet software is not included.

How do reimbursement payments work?

Give each claim a unique ID. Record received payments once in Transactions as In / Reimbursement with the same ID. Claims automatically totals matched payments and calculates the balance. Partial payments can be recorded on different dates.

Does this calculate taxes or connect to my bank?

It records cash flow from entries you make. It does not connect to bank accounts, calculate taxes, determine deductible expenses or show your bank balance. Enter take-home pay after deductions and split allowances out of mixed paychecks.

Can I share or resell it?

The license covers one buyer's own work and household records. Edit and save your working copies. Reselling or distributing the template is not included.
