This is the number most people have never actually seen.
The real problem
Money stress rarely comes from the amount. It comes from not knowing. Whether you're earning on the side, running a household budget, or reporting to a board, the picture stays blurry until someone writes the actual numbers down — and a blurry picture makes every decision feel risky.
Money comes in from a few different places, expenses come out just as fast, and nobody set anything aside for taxes. Gross income gets mistaken for profit until the bill arrives.
The bank app becomes the budget. If the number looks okay, you spend. If it looks low, you panic. Neither one tells you what's actually left over each month.
Revenue, cash on hand, restricted funds, variance to budget — an ED needs these five figures ready before anyone asks, not scrambled together the morning of.
The fix
The Free Starter Kit gives you three ready-made tabs — one for side-hustle profit, one for a personal budget, one for nonprofit board readiness — with the math already done. You fill in the yellow cells. It shows you the truth. No cost to start seeing clearly.
Log income and expenses and instantly see your gross profit, tax set-aside, and real take-home — not just what landed in your account.
Enter income and expenses by category, budgeted vs. actual, and see what's really left over and your savings rate.
Enter five key numbers and get an auto-calculated board-readiness check before your next board meeting.
How it works
Download the file and go straight to the tab that fits — side-hustle, personal budget, or nonprofit. Excel or Google Sheets, yours to keep, free.
Income, expenses, or your five board numbers — only the yellow cells need your input. Everything gray calculates itself.
Your real profit, your money left over, or your board-readiness check appears instantly. Revisit it whenever the numbers change.
What you get
Log your income and business expenses and see your gross profit, recommended tax set-aside, and real net take-home for the month — not just gross income.
Enter income from every source and expenses by category, budgeted vs. actual, and see your total money left over and savings rate calculated automatically.
Enter the five numbers every Executive Director should know — revenue, expenses, cash on hand, restricted funds, variance to budget — and get an auto-calculated board-readiness check.
A short intro tab pointing you to the right snapshot for your situation, with a reminder that only the yellow cells need your input.

Questions
Yes. No card, no free trial that quietly converts, no hidden fee. You enter your email, the file arrives, it's yours to keep.
Excel download included, compatible with Google Sheets. To use it in Sheets, upload the file to your Drive and open it — everything stays intact, formulas included.
Yes. Every formula is already written and locked. You type numbers into the highlighted cells — that's the entire job. The setup tab inside the file walks you through exactly which cells and in what order.
No. Each tab stands on its own — use the one that matches your situation, or all three if they all apply to you. The Welcome tab points you to the right one.
No. On the Side-Hustle tab you log income as it actually arrives and the tax set-aside recalculates from your real numbers, so a lean month shows up as a lean month instead of quietly wrecking a plan built on an average.
Each Starter Kit tab is a single-month snapshot. The full versions track a full year automatically: the Side-Hustle Money System™ adds 12 months of income and expense tracking with automatic tax calculations, the Clarity Budget Planner™ adds savings goals and a 12-month view, and Nonprofit Finance Fundamentals™ adds grant tracking, audit readiness, and a full board report template.
Immediately. Your download link is emailed within about 60 seconds, and it also appears on the confirmation page. If it doesn't arrive, check spam and then email [email protected].
Yes, you'll get occasional emails with tips and updates from The Profit Sheet. You can unsubscribe anytime with one click, no hard feelings.
Last thing
Ten minutes from now, whichever tab you open, you could know exactly where you stand. That's the whole promise — three snapshots, free to start.
