What this sheet is for

Set a budget out on paper and record what actually happened next to it, so the gap is visible line by line rather than only at the bottom.

Who it is for

Households, clubs, committees, small businesses, event organisers and anyone running to a set amount.

How to use it

Write your own categories in. The sheet suggests none.
Fill in the budgeted column once, at the start, and leave it alone.
Record actuals as they happen, not from memory at the end.
Look at the difference column, not the totals — that is where the surprise is.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: Budget against actual, line by line, with the difference worked out where you can see it.

Your categories, your figures. This is a tracking sheet, not financial advice, and it suggests no budget for anything. The categories are yours to write in — the sheet only holds the arithmetic.

Questions

Is this financial advice?

No. It is a blank tracking sheet. It suggests no budget for anything, recommends no split between categories and takes no view on what you should spend. It holds the arithmetic; the figures are yours.
