• White cells with a blue border are for typing. Shaded cells calculate.
• Each month tab only accepts dates in its own month, so every transaction lands in the right month.
• Amounts are always positive. The category decides whether money came in or went out.
• To remove a category, bill or fund, clear its cells instead of deleting the row.
• No macros or scripts. Everything stays in your own copy and nothing connects to a website or a bank.
• For personal use. Please do not resell or share the file.
