Daily Expense Tracker is a simple spreadsheet for logging business expenses day to day, with no setup and no formulas that can accidentally break. Open it, start typing in expenses as they happen, and the totals take care of themselves — built for solo founders who just need a reliable running number, not a full accounting system.
Daily Entry Sheet<\/strong> — a single row per expense — date, category, amount, note — with nothing extra to fill in.
Auto-Totaling Columns<\/strong> — running totals by day, week, and month that update automatically as you add entries.
Category Breakdown<\/strong> — a simple summary view showing where the money’s actually going, by category.
Preset Categories<\/strong> — a starter set of common small-business expense categories, ready to use or rename.
Monthly Summary Tab<\/strong> — a one-page view of the month’s totals, useful for a quick check-in or handing off to an accountant.
Setup Notes<\/strong> — a short guide for making a copy and customising the categories to fit your own business.
Built for solo founders and small business owners who want to keep a basic handle on spending without setting up full accounting software. If your current system is a shoebox of receipts or a note on your phone, this is a small step up that still takes five minutes to start using.
1.<\/strong> Make your own copy of the spreadsheet.
2.<\/strong> Rename the preset categories if you want something more specific to your business.
3.<\/strong> Log each expense as it happens — date, category, amount, and a short note.
4.<\/strong> Check the monthly summary tab whenever you need a quick read on where things stand.
Logging expenses the same day they happen, rather than batching them at the end of the week, is the single biggest reason this kind of simple tracker actually sticks.
