About this template

Our Envelope Method Budget Planner takes this financial planning system to the next level. Forget about paper envelopes and cash registers, because now you can track all your expenses and arrange your budget in more detail across different categories. Name your "envelopes," enter the amounts and each expense into the pre-made table - and you’re done.

Use the Convenient Digital Envelope Budget Planner

Our budget envelope template is straightforward to use and consists of two sheets. On the Setup sheet, you can customize the names of your envelopes and set the budget for each.

The second sheet is the main one and consists of:

  • Tables for five different envelopes, where you can enter the expense date, amount, and notes.
  • A section header with starting and ending amounts.

The template has a gray background and easy-to-read fonts. There’s also a placeholder at the top for your spreadsheet name. Find a suitable Excel budget template for free on this page.
