Formulas Required

The template uses several dynamic formulas to maintain accuracy:

• Sum of all employee salaries in the "Cash Flow Summary" using: =SUMIF(Employee_Payroll_Tracker!C:C, "Salary", Employee_Payroll_Tracker!D:D)
• Deduction calculations for taxes (e.g., federal and state): =D2*0.15 (adjustable rate based on location).
• Total payroll cost per employee: =D2 + E2 + F2 where D is salary, E is tax, F is benefits.
• Monthly cash flow total: =SUM('Monthly Cash Flow Statement'!B:B) - SUM('Monthly Cash Flow Statement'!C:C)
• Running balance formula (in Dashboard): =IF(A2="", "", IF(B2<>"", B2, C1)) + D2 - E2.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance usability and alert users to important financial patterns:

• Red Highlighting: If total employee expenses exceed 30% of the monthly income, cells turn red.
• Green Highlighting: When payroll is paid on time (based on payment date column).
• Data Bars: Visual representation of salary amounts in descending order.
• Icon Sets: Traffic light indicators for budget vs. actual comparisons (e.g., green = under budget, red = over).
