Description
A budget that compares the plan to reality. Where a simple budget lists what you intend to spend, this report tracks projected cost against actual cost for every category — children, entertainment, food, gifts and charity, housing, insurance, and more — and calculates the difference on each line.
The overview at the top does the rest: projected balance, actual balance, and the gap between them, so you can see in one glance whether the month went as planned and exactly which categories drifted.
Download it, open it in MobiOffice, Microsoft 365, or other compatible spreadsheet apps, and set your projected costs at the start of the month. Fill in actuals as you spend; the report keeps everything up to date.
