Sheet Structure and Purpose:

The template consists of five carefully designed worksheets to guide users through the full cycle of education planning with financial accountability.

1. Summary Dashboard (Main Overview)

This is the primary printable sheet, designed for high-level review and reporting. It contains key performance indicators (KPIs), monthly profit trends, program-wise revenue breakdown, and visual charts to provide immediate insight into financial health.

2. Income Tracker

A detailed table that records all sources of educational revenue: course fees, workshop charges, tutoring hourly rates, material sales, online subscriptions, grants (if applicable), and partner referrals. This sheet ensures accurate income tracking for each program or session.

3. Expense Log

This sheet documents every financial outlay related to education delivery—teacher salaries or freelance payments, venue rentals (physical/virtual), marketing costs (ads, flyers), materials (textbooks, supplies), software licenses (LMS tools), and travel expenses for field sessions.

4. Program Performance Report

A comparative analysis sheet that evaluates individual education programs based on revenue generated vs. total cost incurred. This enables strategic decisions about which programs to scale, revise, or discontinue.

5. Monthly Profit Summary (Auto-Generated)

This sheet dynamically pulls data from Income Tracker and Expense Log to calculate monthly net profit/loss per program and overall performance. It's ideal for printing as a financial review report at the end of each month or quarter.
