52 Week Savings Challenge Spreadsheet, Savings Goal Tracker, Sinking Funds Planner, Excel and Google Sheets

Picture the day you book the trip, hand over the down payment or know your emergency fund is full. List what you're saving for, log each deposit, and watch every goal fill up, with a 52-week savings challenge built in. It shows what to set aside each month and every paycheck to hit your date. Works in the US, Australia, the UK, Canada, New Zealand and anywhere else. Excel + Google Sheets.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
• Up to 12 savings goals at once: vacation, emergency fund, down payment, a new car, Christmas, anything
• See saved, still to go, % reached and a progress bar for every goal
• Know exactly what to put aside: per month and per paycheck (every 2 weeks) for each goal
• 52-week savings challenge ready to go: 1 in week 1 up to 52 in week 52, 1,378 by year end, with week dates from your start date
• Every deposit lands on the right goal, and a typo never makes money disappear: it shows as "not matched" until you fix it
• Works where you live: pick your country and the money symbol, dates and words follow

WHAT'S INSIDE
• Dashboard: 6 KPI cards (saved toward goals, goal targets, still to go, deposits made, 52-week saved, weeks done), 3 progress bars and 4 charts (saved vs target by goal, deposits each month, 52-week saved vs planned, saved vs still to go)
• Setup: country, currency symbol (before or after the amount) and your 52-week start date
• Goals: up to 12 goals with target, date, saved, still to go, % reached, progress bar, per month and per 2 weeks needed, and a status for each
• Deposits: 500 rows with date, goal (dropdown), amount, notes and a check column that flags a missing date or a goal name that isn't on Goals
• 52 Weeks: 52 weeks with dates, planned amounts (1 to 52 to start, change them to suit), what you saved, a running total and this week highlighted
• Start Here, plus a Quick-Start PDF (US Letter and A4)

PAID BIWEEKLY OR BY PAYCHECK?
• Each goal shows what you'd need to save every 2 weeks to reach it on time. In the US it's headed per paycheck, in Australia and New Zealand per fortnight
• Log each deposit on its real date, whenever you save

WORKS IN YOUR COUNTRY
• Pick United States, Australia, United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand or Other on Setup
• The currency symbol, date style and words follow it (for example per paycheck in the US, per paycheque in Canada, per fortnight in Australia and New Zealand, every 2 weeks in the UK)
• Any other currency: pick Other and type your own symbol, before or after the amount

WORKS WITH
• Microsoft Excel 2016 or later, or Microsoft 365: download the .xlsx and open it. Desktop recommended.
• Google Sheets: upload the .xlsx to your Google Drive, open it, then choose File > Save as Google Sheets. Free Google account, any browser. The Quick-Start shows each step.
• Dashboard, Goals and 52 Weeks are protected without a password in Excel so formulas aren't overwritten by accident. Google Sheets doesn't keep this, so take care with shaded cells there.
• No macros, no add-ons. Starts blank.

BONUS: PRINTABLE SAVINGS TRACKER
• 10-page fillable PDF in A4 and US Letter: how to use, savings goals, 52-week savings challenge, 100-box savings chart, 3 goal trackers, sinking funds and a savings log
• Print it, or type into it in a PDF app that supports forms (for example Adobe Acrobat Reader). Some browser and preview apps don't save form fields.

WHO IT'S FOR
• Anyone saving for a vacation, a home, a car, a wedding or an emergency fund
• Savers taking on the 52-week money challenge for the New Year
• Couples and families saving together in one file
• Anyone who loves watching a progress bar fill up

NOT FOR
