What is in this workbook?
This workbook has three sheets: Household Dashboard, Household Cash Plan, and Setup. Household Dashboard is the quick-review surface, Household Cash Plan is the editable working log, and Setup holds supporting inputs, reusable context, or working rules.
How the workflow and formulas work
Use Household Cash Plan for each line, category, revenue-or-expense type, planned amount, actual amount, favorable variance, actual net effect, status, owner, and review note; document the inputs behind the plan in Setup. Revenue variance is Actual minus Planned, while expense variance is Planned minus Actual. Household Dashboard subtracts expenses from revenue to show planned net, actual net, and performance instead of mixing income with costs.
How to use it in Griddy
Replace the sample values before sharing, then review the calculated Household Dashboard fields after editing the working log. The workbook includes a dropdown validation resource and a conditional-formatting resource for the relevant review or status fields.
Keep sensitive records out of the workbook
Use rounded planning values and keep account numbers, passwords, and payment credentials out of the workbook. This is not financial advice. This workbook is a planning aid and does not replace accounting, legal, HR, tax, or education-record systems.
