Monthly expense tracker — free Excel template
A simple free monthly expense tracker: date, merchant, category, amount, payment method and notes. Download it to track spending by hand, or upload receipts and export them into this streamlined layout for a quick monthly total.
What’s inside the monthly expense tracker
The template is a single ready-to-use sheet with a frozen header row and one column per field. Its columns are:
- Date
- Merchant
- Category
- Amount
- Payment method
- Notes
How to use this template
Two ways. Fill it in by hand as a plain spreadsheet — or, to skip the typing, upload your receipts to ParseForMe, pick this template as your export format, and the parsed data lands in these columns automatically. Map the fields once and every future document reuses the layout.
