Savings Goal Tracker

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 — 22 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.

Saving is easier when you can see how close you are. This Excel savings goal tracker lists each goal with its target, what you have saved so far and what you put aside each month, then works out the percentage complete and how many months are left.

The overall view shows how much is still to save, your progress across every goal, how many goals you have reached and how long clearing them all will take.

Set a target and what you put aside each month. Percentage complete, months left and the finish date follow automatically.

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.
