Frequently Asked Questions
Does this couples budget spreadsheet work in Google Sheets?
Yes. Upload the .xlsx to Google Drive, open it with Google Sheets and choose File → Save as Google Sheets. It also works in Microsoft Excel, Apple Numbers and LibreOffice.
How do we split bills fairly when one of us earns more?
The Income & Contribution Splitter prices five split models side by side in real money, including what each partner keeps. Many couples with an income gap choose Proportional, where each person pays the same percentage of income rather than the same amount. The Fairness Score (0–100) shows how balanced your choice is.
Does it work in Europe and the UK?
Yes. One dropdown switches the whole workbook to USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, SEK, NOK, DKK, PLN, CZK, HUF, RON or ISK.
What is a money date?
A money date is a short, scheduled monthly meeting where you review your finances together. The Money-Date Planner gives you a 45-minute, five-step agenda that starts with wins and ends with appreciation, so it doesn't turn into an argument.
We keep our finances separate. Is this still for us?
Yes. The system supports fully separate, hybrid, proportional, fully joint, equal split and "Family CFO" setups. Separate couples still share bills, and that's where most friction lives.
How long does setup take?
About 20 minutes, done together, using the 10-step Start Here tab. After that it takes 5 minutes a week and 45 minutes a month.
Do I need to be good at spreadsheets?
No. You type in the blue cells and everything else calculates for you. The workbook ships with demo data so you can see how it works before adding your own.
Does it connect to our bank?
No. It's a private file you own. Nothing is uploaded to a third-party app, and you stay in control of your data.
Is this financial advice?
No. It's an educational planning tool. For personal financial, tax or legal advice, speak to a qualified professional.
