Performance Review

There are, and some are fine. The difference is what has been checked. This file was built from scratch, then every formula in it was recalculated by a separate checker that compares each result against an independently worked-out answer — 16 of them here. A template that looks right and totals wrong is worse than no template at all, and that is the usual failing of one downloaded from a search result.

It also opens with sample rows already filled in, so you can see every formula working before you touch it, and it is set up to print without fighting the page setup. No email wall, no signup, no watermark, and you can use it commercially.

The most useful part of a performance review is often where the employee and manager disagree. This Excel performance review template lists weighted objectives, records a self rating and a manager rating from 1 to 5 for each, and shows the gap between them.

It works out the overall weighted rating and rating band, shows the largest self-versus-manager gap and checks that the weights add up.

Rate 1–5. The gap column shows where the employee and manager see things differently — that is the conversation worth having.

The file opens with sample rows so you can see every formula working before you change anything. Type your own figures over them. When you need more rows, insert them inside the existing block rather than underneath it, so the totals keep covering every row.
