What's inside
- Budget: up to 4 pets, each with food, insurance, meds, litter, vet, grooming, boarding, license, toys and one-time costs; typical year, per month, first year, rest of life at today's prices, and a suggested vet emergency fund
- Log: up to 400 purchases and bills, by pet (or shared) and category
- Year: 12 months by category against your monthly budget, over/under for the months you've logged, spending per pet vs its budget, and a stacked chart
- Sample: a dog and a cat, $454 a month together; 9 months of real spending, $108 over budget, mostly July's boarding
Checked, not just designed: all 205 formulas recalculate with zero errors, and every budget figure and the whole Year tab were recomputed independently from the log in 3 scenarios per file.
