Love your budget spreadsheet? Keep the feel, lose the maintenance.
Spreadsheets are fast to type into, but every new month means copying tabs, fixing formulas and building charts again. PlannedOut keeps the grid and does the rest for you.
What feels the same as Excel
- Arrow keys, Tab and Enter to move between cells
- Formulas in any amount cell, like =450*3 or =1200+340
- Copy and paste blocks of rows straight from Excel or Google Sheets
- Fill down, undo and redo
- An optional Excel-style green theme
What you no longer build by hand
- Monthly totals and a clear surplus or shortfall verdict
- Year view across all twelve months
- Category trends and top merchants
- Savings projection to any future year, and a 'how long will my money last' number
- What-if sliders for cutting spending or adding income
Bring your existing sheet
- Import .xlsx workbooks, including one tab per month
- Import CSV files and bank statement exports
- Files are read in your browser; the raw file is never uploaded
Questions
Can I import my Excel budget template?
Yes. Import .xlsx or CSV. PlannedOut guesses which columns are date, description and amount, and you can adjust before saving.
Why not just use Google Sheets?
You can, but a shared cloud sheet is readable by the provider and needs manual upkeep. PlannedOut encrypts your data before saving and builds the analytics and projections automatically.
Do formulas work?
Yes. Amount cells accept simple formulas such as =1200+340 or =450*3.
