When to use it.
Project Budget Tracker is a spreadsheet for agencies, studios and freelancers keeping a client project on budget. Each line has a budget and an actual, and the sheet works out the variance and the share used, line by line and in total. Four tiles show the budget, what's spent, what's left and the share used, and a status dropdown colours each line as it moves from not started to done, or over budget.
