Birthday Budget Planner Spreadsheet | Family Birthday Party Planner and Gift Tracker for Excel and Google Sheets | Plan Every Party All Year

One birthday is an event. Fourteen are a budget line. This is the spreadsheet for families where the candles never stop.

Kids, parents, grandparents, and a classmate invite in the backpack every few weeks — birthdays aren't one party, they're a season that runs all year. This 13-tab planner turns the whole circuit into one calm system: list everyone once, and it computes the turning ages, the countdowns, the month-by-month calendar, the party math, the gift caps, and the ONE monthly number that funds it all. Works in both Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets. Pay once.

HOW IT WORKS — THREE MOVES, ALL COMPUTED
• List your people. Up to 30 — household, relatives, best friends, classmates — with a birthdate and a budget each. Turning ages, countdowns and the Jan–Dec calendar fill in instantly (in the sample family: 14 birthdays, $1,820 planned, next up in 37 days).
• Plan the parties. Each party gets a worksheet: planned vs committed vs paid across 8 categories, deposits tracked. Mia's 9th shows $198.50 committed of a $320 budget with the $60 venue deposit already paid — and $121.50 still free.
• Fund it monthly. Every tracked birthday lands inside a rolling year, so the Sinking Fund divides what's left to fund by 12 — the sample's fourteen birthdays become one $135/month transfer. Candles pre-paid.

WHAT YOU GET — 13 CONNECTED TABS (EXCEL + GOOGLE SHEETS)
• Dashboard — next birthday + countdown, year budget vs spent vs remaining, the next-90-days radar, over-budget alerts.
• Birthdays & People — the year-round roster: birthdate, relationship, turning age (computed), Party / Dinner / Gift, budget, status.
• Year Calendar — January to December: who, turning what, budgeted what, month totals — the whole year on one screen.
• Party Budget Builder — 8 per-party worksheets: Venue / Food & Drinks / Cake / Decorations / Entertainment / Party Favors / Invitations / Other, planned vs committed vs paid.
• Parties Overview — every party on one line with status and cost-per-guest (the sample's finished party came in at $23.72 a guest).
• Gift Tracker — gifts BOTH ways: your people plus other kids' parties, with caps and over-cap flags (5 classmate gifts, $118.40, one honest flag).
• Guest List & RSVP — invitees per party; yes / no / maybe / awaiting and expected headcount count themselves (14 invited · 9 yes · 2 maybe · 3 to chase).
• Checklist & Timeline — the 4-weeks-out drill, auto-dated from the party date, with done flags.
• Ideas Bank — themes, venues with typical costs, vendors worth keeping.
• Sinking Fund — next 12 months of birthdays vs saved → your required monthly set-aside, deposits log, funded bar.
• Spending Log — date, person, category, amount — SUMIFS feed everything.
• Milestones Radar — 1 · 5 · 10 · 13 · 16 · 18 · 21 · 30 · 40… seen up to 5 years out, with a start-saving suggestion (Grandma Rosa's 70th: $75/month, seen in July).
• Start Here & Setup — the two-minute tour and the one rule: type only in the blue cells.
