How to use a printable expense tracker template
This printable expense tracker has been designed to use monthly, so use a fresh one for every month. You can also use different designs for tracking your personal and business expenses separately.
Tracking Personal Expenses
Tracking your expenses is a great way of making sense of your spending habits.
Your monthly expenses will differ from month to month but many of your bills will be a fixed amount and others may only vary slightly.
Personal expenses you might track could be:
- Groceries
- Subscriptions
- Fixed payments such as rent, mortgage, car loan, and child support
- Utility bills
- Gas / petrol
- Entertainment
- Credit cards (credit cards can be a good way of boosting your credit score but make sure you can pay them off – check out our debt tracker templates to learn more).
Look through your bank accounts to get an idea of what you spend monthly. You might find that you can cut costs by canceling certain payments such as subscriptions.
Tracking Business Expenses
Small business owners, entrepreneurs, and freelancers will benefit from using an expense tracker as your expenses play a big part when it comes to providing your tax return. You can use an expense tracker in conjunction with your accounting software which will help you log your expenses easier.
Small businesses can be expected to log business expenses in various categories such as:
- Employees’ benefit programs and wages
- Services such as bookkeeping, accountants, lawyers, and transaction fees
- Overhead costs
- Inventory
- Insurance
- Advertising
- Utilities
- Software
- Mileage for business travel or company car
If you are using your expenses for your tax be sure to keep all of your receipts and invoices as proof.
