💬 Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the Holiday & Christmas Budget Planner?

A Gift List for tracking who you're buying for and what you've spent, a Holiday Expenses tab for everything else (decor, travel, baking, cards), and a Dashboard that combines both into your total spent and remaining.

Does it work with Google Sheets and Excel?

Yes. Every purchase includes both versions, so you can use whichever platform you prefer.

Can I use my own currency?

Yes. You can change the currency symbol in seconds without affecting any formulas or calculations.

What happens if I go over budget in a category?

You'll see it right away — if a category goes over budget, the amount shows in parentheses, like ($40), in the Left/(Over) column. And if your category budgets don't add up to your total, the dashboard tells you that too.
