Welcome to The Family Finance Playbook

The Family Finance Playbook is a Google Sheets tool that helps you organize recurring bills, track payments, and stay on top of your monthly budget.

Getting Started

On the Summary page, enter each recurring expense once, including:

• Company
• Bill Type
• Payment Frequency
• Start Month
• End Month (optional)
• Budget or Actual Amount

Also enter your Total Monthly Income at the top of the page to compare your income against recurring expenses.

Tip: The playbook automatically places each bill into the correct monthly tabs based on its payment frequency and selected months—no duplicate entries required.

Monthly Tabs

Each monthly sheet is filled in automatically from the Summary page. When you pay a bill, simply check the Paid box to track completed payments and quickly see what remains due.
