How I use Excel spreadsheets to track my savings goals each year

[@markeisharobinson6437]

What if your adding money every week not just every month, how would you suggest we change the spreadsheet or is that possible? Thanks!!

Hi Markeisha, The savings goal tabs automatically calculate how much you need to set aside each day, week, fortnight, month and year to meet your goal. Aim to contribute that automatically generated amount per week. It will get you to the same total savings by the end of the period if you did monthly contributions. The spreadsheet is set up for savings goal tracking on a monthly basis for simplicity. In the cells for each month you can do a running total. So if you want to contribute weekly and your weekly amount is $20 you could do =20+20+20+20 it's not perfect as some months have half weeks but it'll be quite close and you can always contribute above the weekly savings amount to get to your goal faster
