I run a small business and need a working Excel spreadsheet that helps me track monthly income and expenses — and generates totals that I can use for:
Universal Credit reporting (monthly net income)
Carer’s Allowance (annual income total)
HMRC Self-Assessment (annual income, expenses, net profit)
I already have a file with the right structure — but the formulas and calculations aren’t working properly, especially when entering my own data. I need someone to either fix it or rebuild it cleanly from scratch.
✅ What It Must Do: Income and Expenses Tabs
Date, Description, Amount, and Category columns
Dropdown list of expense categories (including “Online & Website fees”)
Input dates in UK format (DD/MM/YYYY)
Optional: highlight if a date is invalid or won’t be counted
Summary Tab
Monthly breakdown of:
Total Income
Total Expenses
Net Profit
Totals that auto-update from the Income/Expenses tabs
Annual totals
Clear value for:
Universal Credit reporting (monthly income)
Carer’s Allowance reporting (annual income)
Annual Expense Breakdown
Sums up each category over the full year
Monthly Category Breakdown

I have a template that almost works — but formulas don’t pull data correctly when I enter my own info.
