=BudgetPlanner!$B2 - SUMIF(ExpenseTracker!$B:$B, BudgetPlanner!A2, ExpenseTracker!$D:$D) - Savings Rate KPI:
= (Total Income - Total Expenses) / Total Incomein the KPI sheet. - Debt-to-Income Ratio:
=Total Monthly Debt Payments / Gross Monthly Income - Status Indicator: Use nested IF with conditional logic:
=IF(C2>=B2, "On Track", IF(C2>B2*0.9, "At Risk", "Behind"))

To enhance visual clarity and highlight key trends:
- Over-budget amounts in the Budget Planner: Red fill with white text.
