Freelance Income & Expense Tracker | Browser App + Excel/Sheets Template
Track your freelance income, expenses, and tax prep -- without a subscription, without signing up for anything, and without learning a complicated system.
WHAT YOU GET
- A browser app (HTML file): just open it and start typing. Works completely offline, no account needed. Your data stays on your own device.
- - An Excel / Google Sheets version with the same features, if you prefer spreadsheets -- formulas are pre-built, just fill in your rows.
- - Both versions do the same thing: log jobs, log expenses, see your monthly and per-client totals automatically.
WHY THIS ONE
Most trackers are either too simple (a bare spreadsheet with no structure) or too complicated (a full accounting suite you don't need). This sits in the middle: enough structure to actually see where your money is going, nothing you have to configure.
FEATURES
- Track jobs through Quoted, Invoiced, Paid, so you always know what's still owed to you
- - Expense categories that match common freelance bookkeeping (supplies, software, travel, etc.)
- - Automatic monthly income / expenses / profit breakdown
- - Per-client income totals
- - One-click CSV export for tax season, with expenses already totaled by category
- - Print-friendly summary view
WHO IT'S FOR
Freelancers, consultants, and solo small-business owners who want a clear picture of their money without opening a full accounting tool.
IMPORTANT
This tool helps you record and total your numbers -- it doesn't calculate your taxes for you and isn't a substitute for professional advice. Please confirm deductions and filing details with a qualified tax professional in your country.
