What is in this workbook?
This workbook has three sheets: Freelance Billing Dashboard, Freelance Billing Queue, and Setup. Freelance Billing Dashboard is the quick-review surface, Freelance Billing Queue is the editable working log, and Setup holds supporting inputs, reusable context, or working rules.
How the workflow and formulas work
Use Freelance Billing Queue for description, client label or milestone, billing trigger, quantity, rate, taxable status, adjustment, tax, line total, paid amount, balance, and next action; keep tax, terms, numbering, approval, and safety rules in Setup. Freelance Billing Queue calculates Amount as Quantity multiplied by Rate, applies the Setup tax rate only to taxable rows, subtracts adjustments to produce each line total, calculates Balance as MAX(Line total-Paid,0), and labels each row Paid or Follow up. Freelance Billing Dashboard totals invoice value, payments, and the aggregate nonnegative balance and counts open lines.
How to use it in Griddy
Replace the sample values before sharing, then review the calculated Freelance Billing 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
Replace every sample and verify local tax treatment. Do not store personal tax IDs, bank details, private client notes, contracts, or credentials. This workbook is a planning aid and does not replace accounting, legal, HR, tax, or education-record systems.
