Sheet Names

Table Structures and Columns (Income Statement - Monthly Sheet)

This sheet contains a structured income statement layout ideal for tracking household finances on a monthly basis.

Formulas Required

The template leverages essential Excel formulas to automate financial calculations:

• Total Income: =SUMIF(Category, "Income", Amount)
• Total Expenses: =SUMIF(Category, "Expense*", Amount)
• Net Profit/Loss: =Total Income + Total Expenses (since expenses are negative numbers, this automatically computes profit or loss).
• Average Monthly Spending per Category: =AVERAGEIF(Category, "Housing", Amount)
• Spending Percentage of Total Income: =ABS(Amount)/Total Income * 100
• Last 6 Months Summary: Use dynamic ranges with SUMIFS and date filtering to isolate data from the last six months.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance readability and highlight key financial insights:

• Income Rows: Highlighted in light green background.
• Expenses > 10% of Total Income: Red text with orange fill to flag high-spending categories.
• Net Profit/Loss (Positive/Negative): Green for profit, red for loss in the summary cell.
• Budget Overrun Alerts: If a category exceeds its set budget, trigger conditional formatting (e.g., bold red text).
