Home Renovation Budget Spreadsheet | Renovation Planner Excel & Google Sheets | Remodel Cost Estimator and Contractor Payment Log

Your whole renovation — on budget, on one screen. ✦

Renovations don't blow the budget all at once. They slip — a higher bid here, a change order there, a deposit you forgot you'd paid. This planner catches every one of them. Type each cost in once and the whole project rolls up by itself: budget vs forecast, what you've paid, what you still owe, and exactly how much of your contingency is left.

Works in BOTH Microsoft Excel AND Google Sheets. One-time purchase. No subscription. Yours forever.

★ WHY THIS ONE BEATS THE REST ★
Most renovation spreadsheets are a single budget tab. This is a connected system that does the thinking for you:
• LIVE DASHBOARD — total budget vs forecast, paid-to-date, balance owed, contingency left, % complete
• BUDGET LINE ITEMS — type estimate, actual & paid; Projected, Variance and Balance calculate themselves
• CONTRACTOR BID COMPARISON — drop in three quotes per job; the lowest, your pick and the savings auto-calculate
• PAYMENT & DRAW TRACKER — deposits, progress draws, retainage, balance owed and % paid per contractor
• CHANGE-ORDER LOG — where renovations really blow the budget; approved changes flow into your forecast
• Works in Excel AND Google Sheets (most rivals are Google-only)
• 16 connected tabs — more complete than any renovation planner we could find

★ WHAT'S INSIDE — 16 TABS ★
• Dashboard — budget vs forecast, paid, balance owed, contingency left, % complete + spend charts
• Budget Line Items — the master cost list; Projected, Variance & Balance are automatic
• Room Summary & Category Summary — live roll-ups so you see exactly where the money goes
• Contractor Bids — compare three quotes per job; lowest, your pick and savings auto-calculate
• Payment Tracker — deposits, draws, retainage, balance owed and % paid per contractor
• Change Orders — the log that keeps renos honest; approved changes adjust your forecast
• Selections & Finishes — every material decision with auto line totals and status
• Calculators — paint gallons & flooring boxes from your room sizes
• Financing — loan/HELOC monthly payment and the true cost of borrowing
• Timeline · Contacts · Punch List · Inspiration · Settings + Start-Here guide

★ HOW IT WORKS ★
You only ever type in the cream-coloured cells. Set your budget and contingency on Settings, list your costs on Budget Line Items, compare bids, and log payments and changes as you go. The Dashboard keeps itself current the whole way through.
