Canadian Budget Binder Budget Spreadsheet 2019

Below are the reviewed 2019 versions of the free budget spreadsheet.

Please read all disclaimers before using any information, budgets or downloadable tools from this site.

By downloading and using any or all free tools or lists created by Canadian Budget Binder you verify that you have read and agreed to the disclaimer and use at your own risk.

2019 Monthly Excel Budget Spreadsheet Ability To Change Categories

  • Budget #1– You can use the pre-existing budget categories or you can use your own if you wish and you have the option to use projected expenses or not.
  • Please read the notes I left around the budget for Quick Tips by holding your cursor in each cell.

2019 Monthly Excel Budget With Yearly Report and Graphs

  • Budget #2-Everything is pre-set so you have to use the pre-defined budget categories but this budget will generate year-end budget figures where the other one won’t but you must use the categories already in this budget.
  • If you change anything you will mess up the formulas and year-end figures.
  • Please read the notes I left around the budget for Quick Tips by holding your cursor in each cell.

If you want to customize then you need to use Budget #1 but you won’t get year-end reports unless you create the charts yourself or use Budget #2 where it is all built for you.

All formulas are open so use with caution because if you break a formula then your numbers won’t add up.

If you are not sure what projected expenses are read Step 10 in our budgeting series below.

    Hi,

    I’d love it if you created an app to use the budget on the go. Right now, do you have an app you would recommend?

      Hi there Martin,
      What seems to be the problem downloading the files? I’ve just tried without issue on boy my wife’s mobile phone and the laptop. You can also email me http://www.canadianbudgetbinder@yahoo.ca you must have excel on your computer or phone to download the file.

    Look, don’t get me wrong, I really appreciate you having free budget tools available. I think it’s terrific!! But why or how could you possibly do a budget spreadsheet without an expense category for “restaurants” or “dining out” ?? I went up and down the list 5 times in disbelief … but nope, it’s not there! I was hoping to use the 2nd spreadsheet with yearly totals and graphs but now it looks like I’ll need to default to spreadsheet #1.

      Hi there Paul,
      Thanks for your comment. Since this was originally our personal budget eating out falls under “Entertainment”. With the first budget you have the ability to alter the category tabs as you see fit provided you understand the basics of excel and formulas. So go for it!!! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.

    Whoa – that one got away on me. I’ve uploaded the budget spreadsheet and have input all of my January 2018 details. I’ve been using a simplified excel spreadsheet that a friend built for me, to track expenses for about 4 years and there was a budget component, but something wasn’t working right. So far I like how your design works. Super basic question for you – how long do you keep receipts for?

    Reply
    • Mr. CBB says

      January 5, 2018 at 9:11 pm

      Keep receipts for warranty or return purposes for purchases you make for the duration needed. Other than that if you want to review receipts every few months looking for trends etc keep them. Otherwise once you’re done with them you don’t necessarily need to hang on to them.

          Hi Sandy,
          The budgets are fine to use as are any of the lists as they are aren’t country specific. Anything outside of CBB I’m not sure.

      Hi Amanda!!
      Thanks for alerting me that the link was broken for that download. I’ve since went in and changed that. The budget you are downloading is not the one we us in the CBB house it’s a very basic budget but certainly works. Just above that link are the two excel budget links in which I designed that you see the photo of. If you have any problems simply email me and I”ll help you out. Welcome to CBB!! Mr.CBB 🙂

    Hi there
    I’ve just downloaded your budget template for excel and have a question. How do I modify the categories for the drop down list? I’ve modified them in the two columns (actual etc) but can’t get the drop down list to change…….maybe it’s because it’s late and I can’t see it….thanks in advance!

      Hi Michelle,
      If you want to modify the category labels there’s a column far far to the right hand side. I don’t know the actual location off the top of my head but there’s a great big red banner above it and you can’t miss it. Change the category names there. If you’ve already changed the category names in the other 2 columns you’ve destroyed the formulas I’ve created and the budget will no longer work. You need to download the budget again. I hope that helps. Mr.CBB
