🎛 Budget Mode vs. Actual Mode: How It Works

This template has two sleek, automated modes to make budgeting seamless:
🟢 Budget Mode: Plan your income, expenses, and savings before the month starts. Set targets and ensure you're on track.
🔵 Actual Mode: Track what you really earned, spent, and saved throughout the month. The dashboard auto-calculates the differences, highlighting overspending and underspending so you can adjust accordingly.
📊 The best part? The dynamic dashboards change based on the mode you're in, making financial tracking visually engaging and insightful.

💡 Frequently Asked Questions

💬 Do I need a Google account to use this?
Yes! This budgeting template is designed for Google Sheets. You’ll need a free Google account to access and edit it.

💬 Does this template work on Excel?
No, it doesn't work on Excel. Stay tuned for an Excel version coming later in 2025.

💬 Is this a one-time purchase?
Yes! Pay once and use the template forever.

💬 Can I use this for my family or small business?
Absolutely! While it’s designed for personal finance, you can modify it for household or small business budgeting.

 💬 I bought this dashboard after 2025 has started - does it still work for me?
Yes! There are a couple of approaches you can take depending on how much time you have. 

• Best Results: Enter actual numbers (income, savings, and expenses) for prior months as both budget and actual. While this skews budgeting accuracy, it ensures your annual dashboard reflects a full-year view.
• Less Time-Consuming: Start using the dashboard from your purchase month (e.g., April 2025). However, your annual dashboard won’t show a complete picture of your yearly income, savings, and expenses.

💬 What if I need help setting it up?
No worries! A step-by-step guide is included. If you still need help, feel free to reach out to the team at info@jenthinks.com.
