Financial Wellness Tracker

Google Sheets Budget & Expense Tracker

Get a clearer picture of your finances without connecting your bank account to another budgeting app.

The Financial Wellness Tracker is a simple, private Google Sheets system that helps you plan your money, record what actually happens, and notice where your money is going. Whether you have a regular paycheck, irregular income, financial support, business income, or you are simply trying to become more intentional with what you currently have, this tracker gives you a practical place to begin.

You do not need a perfect budget or complicated cash-envelope system. Start with what you know and allow your financial picture to become clearer over time.

What You Can Do

• Plan your expected income, expenses, savings, and debt payments
• Record transactions from multiple accounts and payment methods
• Compare planned amounts with actual activity
• See your monthly financial picture on an automatic dashboard
• Track spending by category
• Monitor savings and debt goals
• Review how much money remains after spending, saving, and debt payments
• Customize your categories, accounts, payment methods, and planning year

What Is Included

Your Financial Wellness Tracker includes six coordinated Google Sheets tabs:

• Start Here: Simple instructions for using the tracker
• Dashboard: A visual monthly summary of your planned and actual finances
• Monthly Plan: Plan income, expenses, savings, and debt payments for all 12 months
• Transactions: Record money received, spent, saved, or paid toward debt
• Goals: Track savings and debt goals, progress, remaining amounts, and target dates
• Setup: Customize your planning year, categories, payment methods, and accounts

How It Works

Use the Monthly Plan to enter what you expect to receive, spend, save, or pay toward debt.

As the month continues, record what actually happens on the Transactions tab. The Dashboard automatically organizes your entries and compares your planned amounts with your actual financial activity for the month you select.

There is no bank connection required, so you can use the tracker with multiple bank accounts, cash, credit cards, PayPal, Cash App, or any other payment method you choose.
