First $1,000 Savings Tracker - Simple Excel Spreadsheet

A simple, no-frills Excel spreadsheet for tracking your progress toward your first $1,000 in savings. Enter your starting balance, log each contribution as you make it, and the tracker updates your remaining amount, progress percentage, and monthly summary automatically.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

• 1 Excel file (.xlsx) with 4 sheets: Start Here, Savings Goal, Contributions, Monthly Summary
• Automatic progress tracking: amount saved, amount remaining, and percent complete
• Four built-in milestones: 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of your goal (250 / 500 / 750 / 1,000 with the default goal)
• Choose your currency: USD, EUR, GBP, CAD or MRU, or add your own currency; milestones scale to your goal
• Monthly summary that totals your contributions by month (12 months, starting from your first contribution)
• Two planning calculators: enter a contribution amount to see how many contributions you need, or set a target date to see the weekly or monthly amount that pace would require
• Standard formulas only: no macros, no add-ins, no subscription

WHO IT'S FOR

• Anyone starting their first savings goal who wants a simple way to see progress
• People who prefer a spreadsheet to an app

HOW IT WORKS

1. Open the file in Excel. On the Savings Goal sheet pick your currency, then enter your goal, starting balance (and a target date, if you want a pace guide).
2. Log each contribution on the Contributions sheet: date, note, amount.
3. Check the Savings Goal and Monthly Summary sheets any time to see where you stand.
