Instructions
The Home Budget Worksheet is meant to help you create a budget for an entire year.
Doing this will help you make predictions about where you may stand financially in the
future. If you are moving, changing jobs, purchasing a home, or making other major life
changes, it is essential to plan for many months down the road.

1) Edit/Create/Delete categories and subcategories

Use row operations, such as copying an entire row and then inserting it above another
row. The subtotal formulas are set up to allow this type of editing without messing up
the formulas.

2) Verify that all of the subtotal formulas are correctly summing the correct cells

3) Modify the month headings as needed

4) Enter your beginning balance at the top of the worksheet

5) Fill in the income and expenses for the year

a) You can copy and paste cells as needed. For example, enter an average fuel cost in
Jan, and copy it across through Dec
b) Include large lump payments in the months in which they will likely occur or use the
approach of averaging the cost across each month. When using the averaging
approach, consider that your actual balance may not reflect the predicted balance for
the month. If you use the lump payment approach, it may be easier to compare actual
balances, but make sure you have enough saved.

c) Add cell comments as needed to help explain costs. For example, include the names
of Birthdays in comments for the Gifts Given category.

Updating the Worksheet

After a month has passed, enter your Actual Balance at the top of the worksheet. If the
actual balance is much different from the prediction, try to figure out why, and you may
want to adjust your worksheet to reflect what you actually received and spent.

Tips for Quicken Users

Make sure that you set up the Quicken categories the same as in your budget
worksheet, or vice versa. It helps to have the categories organized alphabetically in
this worksheet, because that is the way Quicken displays them in the Cash Flow
reports.

Creating a Cash Flow report in Quicken makes it easy to compare the month's
expenditures to your budget.
