Excel Checkbook is very easy to use and manage all of your bank accounts. I am using this product to help my elderly father manage to plus accounts he has and it has been a life saver in keeping everything straight and balanced. I highly recommend this product as it is affordable and easy to use. Thank you Excel Checkbook!

Impressed

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review for Excel-Checkbook.com

I couldn’t be more impressed with the XLS spreadsheet from **excel-checkbook.com**. It’s a fantastic value for anyone who wants a reliable, secure, and customizable way to balance checking accounts or generate insightful dashboards.

What sets this spreadsheet apart is that it keeps your financial data under your control. You don’t have to store anything in the cloud unless you choose to back it up there, which is a huge plus for privacy-conscious users.

Setup was refreshingly simple. Even those with only basic Excel skills will find it easy to get started. The pulldown menus are intuitive, and customizing categories or sub-categories takes just a few clicks. Within minutes, I had a tailored system that fit my personal budgeting style perfectly.

The dashboard features are especially powerful—clear visuals that make tracking spending and account balances effortless. It’s the kind of tool that combines simplicity with flexibility, giving you professional-level insights without the complexity or subscription fees of other financial software.

If you’re looking for a secure, easy-to-use, and highly customizable solution for managing your checking account, this spreadsheet is an outstanding choice.

Thank you Margaret!

I absolutely love the Excel Checkbook. I used Quickbooks for my home checking for years but it got far too expensive for that. So I searched far and wide for some app that would fit my needs and have a free or reasonable cost. Of course I found nothing suitable. Then I stumbled upon Excel Checkbook Register. I immediately knew it was perfect!
I’ve used Excel for years and knew of its simplicity, and it’s powerful capabilities. The formulas needed for a good home checking system are way above my ability. I’m so thankful this was accessible and for such a reasonable cost. Thanks so very much for making this available to me and people like me. It’s an answer to prayer.

What I’ve been looking for!

This Excel Checkbook Register - 2025 is perfect for my needs and what I've been searching for to keep an electronic register. I am so impressed by the ease of use, the tabs, the clear directions, and all the accounting details I need. I previously used Quicken and generally liked it, but I wanted a stand-alone (offline) checkbook type of register for all my accounting and bank accounts. This is it!!

The best part about all this is Logan's excellent customer service when I had questions about how some of the functions worked. He has done a great job with his tutorial videos, FAQs and his own personal attention to my questions. What a difference a human makes!! Thank you again for a great product - keep up the good work!

I've been trying to find something simple yet powerful enough to run a smaller farming operation and found this very easy to use and even reports on expenses. I tried using QuickBooks but can't really afford that and its way too much for a small operation.

I'd love to see a Balance Sheet but thanks for a fantastic product!

Hey there, We just downloaded your excel sheet. I can't tell you how much I love it. Its amazing. We have a pretty big sized business that we use quickbooks for. And we found this to use for our rental properties! Its amazing and I love it. My question is.... So the tenants pay a security deposit. How would I categorize that in this system? I know its not income... Its not really an expense. Help!

Thank you for the note! I would propose using a separate register worksheet to track those security deposits. And you might consider either not categorizing them at all, or add a new entry in the category list for Security Deposit but don't give it a Category Type.

Great Program!

Thank you for a great program. I am thrilled to have this program to work with. It is very easy to navigate even for the person who doesn't work with excel much. The directions to get started are very clear and easy to understand. I appreciated it very much!

Love it

I am so excited for the "split" feature!! I am LOVING your checkbook template 😀

Thank you for making it available at such a reasonable price.

Not a nice to have, a MUST have!

As a now former Quicken user, who hated the $72/year fee they charge for the privilege of getting an app for mobility, I wish there were 10 stars instead of 5 for this software - it's well deserved. I've been trying out various alternatives and have never found anything sufficient for my needs. Until now! This software is so well thought out. It does everything I need in a register without being bloated. Nice interface, and I am extremely impressed with how much documentation and how-to videos there are behind the software. WAY beyond what you expect for software in this category. The software reflects how important customer satisfaction is. Customer Support is beyond belief. I have only just bought it and already, I'm excited to push DEL on my Quicken software. This gets HUGE thumbs up for flexibility and reliability as well as over the top customer support. You won't be sorry you bought it. I've never written this glowing of a review before (and I've written many) - it's worth every penny.

Thank you Cheryl! You made my day!

Thanks

If I could reach through this internet connection I’d kiss you right on the lips! I have been looking desperately for an easy to use checkbook program for a small group that wouldn’t break the bank AND that a novice Excel user could relate to. I did try to get fancy one time and wiped out part of my page, but with a small nudge from my Excel expert kids, everything is now back to rights.

I absolutely recommend this product, especially for those old folks like me that need an easy to use, but very useful, checking accounting program. 5 Stars!

I recently purchased your spreadsheet Excel Checkbook 2025 Version. Can't tell you how pleased I am with the product. It works GREAT for me and I like it waaaay more than Quicken. I am a Rideshare/Gig worker so I can keep track of my work easily and keep track of my checking accounts and other investments. Just wanted to say thank you for your product.

A Great Checkbook

I have successfully, finally, downloaded the 2025 new version. Any problems I had in downloading were of my own doing! This checkbook has been an answer to my prayers! I have not used it for my personal checkbook; however, and planning to do so this year. The new version is for a very small foundation that doesn’t need all the bells and whistles that every other option I checked has. It is just what I need. Thanks for your kind, patient help!

Just what I was looking for!!

I am so grateful I came across your site!! This is absolutely perfect for my needs. I LOVE Excel!! You've thought of everything and I've learned some new things already - just downloaded it a couple days ago!!

I love it!! Oh, and thanks for the discount ... well worth the price!!

Thank you Gail! I appreciate it.

Great program

This is a great program and product. It will do much more than any other check book program I’ve seen.

Awesome

Purchased it yesterday and have started inputting my data. This is Awesome so far!!!!

Best Thing Ever

I somehow came across your YouTube video on how to create your own Excel spreadsheet for tracking... and then I followed the link 🙂 the pre-made spreadsheet is absolutely great. It saves so much times from creating your own. I purchased the 2024 version and it has so much great tracking abilities. Thank you so much.

Great product

This is a great product and definitely worth the money instead of trying to set up your own excel. Plus the SAVE30 was really nice too thank you!!!
1 question we have is how do you add more items to the sub catagory section? We farm and we would like to add grain feed, storage, and transportation to the list but we can't figure out how to do that. Again this is a great product and definitely worth the money!!!

Genius

Be sure you watch the video, maybe twice to make sure you understand it fully.
I think I messed up one of the registers, it isn't working correctly, but I still have the other 5! (I don't have formal training on Excel so I am sure I messed it up.)

I love this register. I am "old school" and kept a register for many years, but I like the convenience of using a laptop or my tablet. The many features are pure genius. I love the ability to put my monthly expenses into a future transaction sheet and just add them all at once.

I actually intended to use it with my iPad, but I can use it easier on my windows laptop.

I would definitely recommend.

Great spreadsheet for home finances

The excel-checkbook is a great spreadsheet for handling your checkbook accounts and not like other programs, it is inexpensive!! One charge. No monthly fees!

Too complicated for me

Terrific!

This file has turned out to be a terrific resource. It incorporates a number of effective elements that taken together present a way to track and analyze all of my important financial data. It is both a detailed and complete template while also being easily personalized for maximum ease of use. Thanks again!

This is awesome! Why didn’t I know about this sooner!

I can finally dump Quicken.

Thank you so much for your work on this. I can finally dump Quicken. I needed very few of the Quicken options, but the few I needed were hard to find. Plus my bank & Quicken really seem to struggle to communicate properly. Well worth the money.
I highly recommend A Better Excel Checkbook!!!

Exactly what I needed

Thank you for putting this together and offering the template. This is exactly what I needed.
