Free Excel Templates
Four templates with the formulas already working. Type over the sample rows and the totals, differences and summaries recalculate on their own.
Each one comes formatted and ready to use — frozen headers, filter arrows, currency and percentage formats, dropdowns on the columns that need consistent entries, and colour that reacts to your numbers. No signup, no email, no watermark. We built them from scratch, so you can edit them, rebrand them, and use them at work without worrying about a licence.
Monthly Budget Tracker
Track what you planned to spend against what you actually spent, by category, with the difference worked out for you.
Formulas built in
- →SUM for column totals
- →SUMIF to split income from expenses
- →Actual minus budgeted per row
Sample rows for salary, rent, groceries, utilities and more — type over them.
Download .xlsxInvoice Template
A clean invoice with line items that price themselves, plus subtotal, tax at a rate you set, and the total due.
Formulas built in
- →Qty × unit price per line
- →SUM for the subtotal
- →Tax from an editable rate
- →Due date 30 days out
Blank line rows stay empty until you fill them, so the invoice never shows stray zeros.
Download .xlsxProject Task Tracker
Tasks with owners, dates and status, and a summary that counts what is done, in progress, and overdue.
Formulas built in
- →Days left counted from today
- →COUNTIF per status
- →COUNTIFS to catch overdue tasks
- →Average completion
Days left recalculates every time you open the file — it is never stale.
Download .xlsxExpense Report
Log expenses by date and category, mark which are reimbursable, and get the claim total separated automatically.
Formulas built in
- →SUM for the claim total
- →SUMIF on the reimbursable column
- →SUMIF breakdown by category
Category totals update as you add rows — no pivot table needed.

Using these templates
Each file opens with a few rows of sample data. That is deliberate — it shows you what belongs in each column and proves the formulas work before you touch anything. Replace the samples with your own rows and everything downstream updates.
When you add rows below the last sample row, check that the total formulas still cover them. In the budget tracker, for example, the total reads =SUM(C5:C12). Adding a row at row 13 leaves it outside that range. Insert new rows in the middle of the block instead and the range grows on its own — this is the single most common reason a template quietly stops adding up, and it is worth knowing about before it bites you. Our guide on why Excel totals are wrong goes through the rest.
The task tracker uses TODAY(), so the days-left column changes every day you open it. That is what you want for a live project, but it means the file is never identical twice — do not be surprised when yesterday's numbers have moved.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to sign up or give an email address?
No. Every template downloads straight from the link — no account, no email, no newsletter. The files are plain .xlsx with nothing tracking you inside them.
Will these work in Google Sheets and LibreOffice?
Yes. Every formula used — SUM, SUMIF, COUNTIF, COUNTIFS, IF, TODAY and AVERAGE — exists in Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc and Excel 2013 onwards, and none of them needs Ctrl+Shift+Enter. The dropdowns, conditional formatting and frozen headers carry across all three as well. Upload the file to Google Drive and open it with Sheets, or open it directly in Calc.
Are the formulas already built in, or do I have to add them?
Already built in and live. Type over the sample rows and the totals, differences and summaries recalculate. Nothing is pasted-in static numbers.
Can I use these for commercial work?
Yes. Use them at work, edit them, rebrand them, send the invoice one to your clients. We wrote these from scratch, so there is no licence to worry about and no attribution required.
The totals show zero when I open the file — why?
Some spreadsheet apps open with calculation set to manual, which shows the stored value rather than recalculating. Press F9, or in Excel go to Formulas → Calculation Options → Automatic. Our guide on formulas not calculating covers every other cause.
