The design emphasizes visual clarity and data interactivity, integrating employee records with personal financial metrics in a cohesive, professional format.

This section displays key performance indicators using conditional formatting and small embedded charts for visual insight:

• Gross Earnings vs. Goal Progress (Bar Chart, 100% scale)
• Monthly Savings Rate Trend (Line Graph)
• Status Distribution Pie Chart (Active/On Leave/Inactive employees)

FORMULAS REQUIRED

All calculations are automated using Excel formulas for accuracy and ease of use.

• Gross Earnings: =IF([@Total Hours Worked]>0, [@Hourly Rate] * [@Total Hours Worked], 0)
• Net Income: =[@Gross Earnings] * (1 - ([@Tax Rate]/100))
• Total Monthly Income: =SUM([Gross Earnings])
• Total Expenses: Manually entered; used in comparison formulas.
• Monthly Savings ($): =[@Total Monthly Income] - [Total Expenses]
• Savings Rate (%): =IF([@Total Monthly Income]>0, ([@Monthly Savings] / [@Total Monthly Income]) * 100, 0)
• Fund Progress (%): =MIN(100, (IF([Emergency Fund Goal]>0, [Current Savings]/[Emergency Fund Goal], 0)) * 100)
