Our zero-based budgeting template consists of two sheets, both fully editable:

The Setup Sheet allows you to set categories and drop-down lists for income and expense categories. Replace any unnecessary list item by clicking on its placeholder and entering a new one.
The Budget Sheet is vertically divided into two main sections. On the left, you’ll find two tables that provide a complete overview of your budget and expenses (total budget/spent, remaining balance, diagram, etc.). On the right, there’s a table where you can record expenses.

The expenses table already includes all the key columns, such as date, category, amount, and transaction details. This spreadsheet is easy to use and features a simple, minimalist design to help you stay focused while working.
