Heya, is there anyone here that has a savings spreadsheet for their different savings accounts that I could steal please? I have one of my own that I input in manually, but it'd be nice having a template of another person's that has formula that automatically calculates totals depending on input. Plus, I always find others' spreadsheets much better than mine , and useful for ideas :)


Anybody willing to share theirs if that's okay? A simple one would suffice

    AceMoney, best $24 (now $40) I ever spent, there's a free Lite version with one account to see if you like it. Records far more than is practical in a spreadsheet, reports, charts etc

    You can register with Savings Champion and use their Rate Tracker option to set up your savings accounts and everything is automaticallly totalled. It is free and the site also shows you all the best savings rates.

    Microsoft made MS Money freely available at the end of its life. You can still find MS Money 2005 UK version floating around if this would help.

    I'm still running it, in fact couldn't live without it.

    I've tried that a couple of times but find it very very hard to initially set up as it's formatted for the US (sunset version). Is there a UK version?

    Yes there is a UK version. If you found the US sunset edition then it's not the correct one
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    Just wondering why when the OP is seemingly talking about spreadsheets and templates others are responding talking about software.

    I got the impression the OP was well aware of what's available out there but would like an actual template. I guess I misunderstood the question.

    You can download the UK 2005 version at the bottom of this page https://www.garethjmsaunders.co.uk/2011/11/27/download-microsoft-money-2005-for-free/
    I am running Windows 10 and have not had any problem using it!

    I suppose I was just surmising why reinvent the wheel, and therefore offered another option. If you go with a spreadsheet or someone else's spreadsheet then you need to be aware of formulas/calculations and whether the formula has been constructed correctly and or if you ever make changes to the spreadsheet might you break anything else.

    Remember it is always important to look at the requirements not the solution.

    I see that the moneymvps.org page is no longer available. If anyone is interested in MS Money 2005 UK version I have a copy, just PM me.
