Do you have a graduate school budget spreadsheet template?

Yes. Education & Learning templates can be used to plan tuition, fees, books, housing, and living expenses. Export to Excel to organize costs by semester or month.

How do I budget for a certification or online course?

List one-time costs (course fee, exam fees, materials) and recurring costs (subscriptions, study tools). A template helps you see the full cost up front before you commit.

What should I include in a professional development budget?

Common categories are courses, conferences, travel, books, software/tools, and membership dues. Start with the Education templates and tweak categories to match your goals.

Can I track multiple classes or programs in one budget?

Yes. Export to Excel and add separate sections per class/program, or add a “Program” column to tag each expense. That keeps totals clean while staying organized.

How do I estimate total school costs beyond tuition?

Add fees, books, equipment, transportation, and living expenses, plus a buffer for surprises. Tracking Actual monthly helps you refine the estimate quickly after the first term.

Does this education budget template work in Google Sheets?

Yes. Export as Excel and open it in Google Sheets. It’s a great way to collaborate with a partner or parent and keep the plan updated.
