To set up automatic calculations in your monthly budget spreadsheet: Enter Your Data: Create columns for income sources, expense categories, and savings goals. Use Formulas for Totals: In the cell where you want the total income, use the formula =SUM(range) where range is the cells containing your income amounts. Similarly, for total expenses, use =SUM(range) for the expense cells. Calculate Net Income: To find your net income, subtract total expenses from total income using a formula like =Total_Income_Cell - Total_Expenses_Cell. Track Budget Variances: Set up cells to calculate the difference between your budgeted amounts and actual amounts using =Budgeted_Amount - Actual_Amount. These formulas will automatically update your totals and variances as you enter or adjust your data, ensuring accurate and real-time budget tracking.
