Homeschool Expense & ESA Tracker — Expense Log, Allocations & Audit-Ready Records (Google Sheets & Excel)

Keep the money side of homeschooling in one place — instead of a shoebox of receipts and scattered notes.

The Homeschool Expense & ESA Tracker logs every purchase, tracks per-child ESA or voucher allocations, and builds an audit-ready year summary — all updating themselves, in both Google Sheets and Excel. Built for ESA / voucher families (TX EFA, AZ ESA, FL PEP and more) and any family that wants clean records.

Log every purchase

Record up to 1,000 purchases — date, vendor, item, category, child, amount, payment method, and a receipt reference — each with a reimbursement status (Logged, Submitted, Approved, Reimbursed, or Denied). Category and child are drop-downs drawn from your own lists.

Per-child ESA & voucher allocations

List each child (up to 6), their ESA or voucher program, and their award amount. Spent, Remaining, and % Used calculate automatically — so you always know how much of each award is left before you spend it.

Audit-ready year summary

The Year Summary rolls every expense into a category-by-child table with row and column totals — the clean, formula-driven record you can hand to a program audit at year end.

A category reference, in plain English

A built-in guide to what common homeschool and ESA categories usually cover — fully editable, so you can match it to your own situation.

A live dashboard

Eight KPIs (total allocated, spent, remaining, % award used, expenses logged, reimbursed, awaiting reimbursement, children), a spending-by-category donut, and a monthly-spend chart — all updating the moment you type.

Works in Google Sheets and Excel

Instant digital download. Open it free in Google Sheets or in Excel — no software to buy, nothing to install. Reuse it every school year.
