Go to the Income page. Type in all your income sources such as salary, bonuses, and commissions. On the column next to the list of sources of income, place the respective amounts. Get the sum of the income column and then link the total cell to the Budget page. The Utility page contains all the payments you have to make, except for loans and debts. Examples of items to be included in the Utility page are power, water, transportation cost, groceries, and clothing. Create three columns for the company name, deadline of payment, and estimated amount to be paid. When you receive your billing statement, change your projected amount to the actual amount as indicated on the statement. List all your debts in the Debt page of your home budget spreadsheet. Include the deadlines for payment, minimum monthly payment, interest rates, and the sum of all debts. If you plan to pay the smallest debts first, arrange your list of debts from the smallest to the largest. Finally, return to the Budget page that now has the total amounts of every page in your spreadsheet and then deduct your expenses from your income.
