Guide in using the Budget Template:

1. Enter each expense estimated budget and actual amount. In every expense listed, its estimated budget and actual amount should also be entered on the same row. Each expense area has a sample list of expenses, so just enter the estimated budget and actual amount of expenses that are applicable to you.

Areas/sections you don’t need can either be left blank or deleted. You can also edit the list of expenses featured in this template to suit your needs.

2. Check the autogenerated calculations. Upon entry of figures under the estimated budget and actual amount columns, the following sections should autogenerate calculations:

• Difference - displays the difference between the estimated budget and actual amount. It should be noted that if the difference amount is displayed in red, it means there’s a shortage in your budget.
• Total - displays the initial total amount of each expense area
• Total Expenses - displays the overall monthly expenses. If you want to look at the total expenses, it’s highlighted at the lowermost part of the template.

3. Add comments under the notes column for any important notes or reminders.

4. Review the completed expense budget template.
