Christmas Budget Planner Spreadsheet 2026

A budget that stays calm in December. Every gift gets a person, an idea, a budget, what you actually paid and three ticks: bought, wrapped and given. A savings countdown tells you what to put aside each week.

£5.99 on EtsyUK price, VAT included. Instant download, nothing is posted.

What it does

  • Lists 35 people on the gift list, with over or under budget per person
  • Compares planned and actual spending by category and shows what is left
  • Counts the days and weeks to go, with a savings log and a per-week amount
  • Keeps a food and drink list by shop, with bought ticks
  • Shows a dashboard of gifts bought, wrapped and given, and spend by category
  • Includes an Export to Calm Money tab for our Calm Money budget app (sold separately)

What you get

  • Four festive colourways: Classic, Nordic, Midnight and Pastel Christmas
  • For each colourway: an Excel file with example numbers, a blank Excel file and a Google Sheets copy link
  • A PDF with the Google Sheets link for each colourway
  • A zip of the Excel files (.xlsx)

Good to know

  • Works in Google Sheets (free Google account needed to make your copy) and Excel 2016 or newer
  • Input cells have a coloured border; everything else is worked out and protected, with no macros to enable
  • Works in pounds or dollars; change the date and reuse it every year
  • Works on a phone in the Google Sheets app, though setting up is easier on a laptop
