Do ProfitDrawer spreadsheets work in Google Sheets and Excel?

Yes. ProfitDrawer spreadsheets come as an Excel .xlsx file that opens in a recent version of Excel on Windows or Mac and works with no internet connection. For Google Sheets, you need a free Google account and 3 steps: open Sheets, click File > Import > Upload, and choose the .xlsx file, which creates the workbook in your own Google Drive. A Google-Sheets-Setup.pdf with these steps is included.

Which ProfitDrawer spreadsheet should I buy for my trade?

Choose the ProfitDrawer bookkeeping spreadsheet named for your trade if there is one, such as cleaning, lash tech, contractor, plumber, HVAC, truck driver or realtor, because its income and expense categories and its top-clients tab are set up for that work. If your trade is not listed, the general small business bookkeeping spreadsheet has the same 12 tabs, and you can rename its categories on the Settings tab.

Is there a subscription for ProfitDrawer spreadsheets?

No. ProfitDrawer spreadsheets have no subscription: you pay once, and the files are yours to keep and use every year. There is no monthly fee ($0 a month), no sign-up and no shared link that can expire, because you open the .xlsx file in Excel or import it into your own Google Drive. The only ongoing need is a recent version of Excel, or a free Google account for Google Sheets.

Does a ProfitDrawer bookkeeping spreadsheet file my taxes or create invoices?

No. A ProfitDrawer bookkeeping spreadsheet does not file taxes or create invoices. Across its 12 tabs it tracks income, expenses and mileage, lists unpaid invoices you have already sent, and its Tax Summary tab adds up your categories, deductible amounts, mileage deduction and a suggested tax set-aside so you have clean figures for your accountant or tax software. It also does not run payroll, track inventory, book appointments or create quotes.

What free calculators does ProfitDrawer offer?

ProfitDrawer offers 4 free online calculators: a startup cost calculator, a price per job calculator for service businesses, a loan payoff calculator with extra payments, and a self-employed tax set-aside calculator. They are free with no sign-up, run in your browser, and nothing you type leaves your device. Each one shows its formula in a How it works section, and the results are estimates, not tax or financial advice.

Updated October 29, 2026

Can I use a ProfitDrawer spreadsheet for more than one year?

Yes. You pay once and the file is yours to keep and use every year. A ProfitDrawer bookkeeping spreadsheet covers one financial year at a time, set on the Settings tab, with room for 1,000 income rows, 1,000 expense rows and 500 trips. For a new year, save a copy of the file, change Financial year (starting), for example to 2027, and clear last year's rows. The old file stays as your record for that year.

Can I change the categories in a ProfitDrawer spreadsheet?

Yes. On the Settings tab of a ProfitDrawer bookkeeping spreadsheet you can rename, add or remove income and expense categories by typing in the white boxes, and the dropdowns on Income and Expenses update to match. The small business version has room for 12 income and 20 expense categories. Each expense category has a Business? setting: choose No for money that is not a business cost, such as owner draw.

Can I use my own currency in a ProfitDrawer spreadsheet?

Yes. Type your currency symbol, such as $, £ or €, once in the Currency symbol box on the Settings tab of a ProfitDrawer bookkeeping spreadsheet, and every tab's labels and totals follow it. The workbook works in one currency per file and does not convert between currencies. The mileage rate on Settings is per mile, so enter the rate that applies where you file, such as the 2026 IRS rate for US businesses.

Updated October 29, 2026

Does the ProfitDrawer spreadsheet track mileage?

Yes. Every ProfitDrawer trade bookkeeping spreadsheet has a Mileage tab with room for 500 trips a year: enter the date, from, to and miles, and it works out the deduction at the rate you set on Settings. The Annual Dashboard shows miles and the deduction, the Monthly Summary shows miles by month, and the Tax Summary shows the mileage deduction. Settings holds one rate for the year, so for 2026 total the miles before and after June 30 separately: the IRS rate rose from 72.5 to 76 cents.

Updated October 29, 2026

Are ProfitDrawer printables US Letter or A4?

Both. Every ProfitDrawer printable comes in US Letter (8.5 x 11 inches) and A4 (210 x 297 mm), so you can print at home or at a print shop in the US or elsewhere, as often as you like. The two exceptions are the 2027 Digital Budget Planner, a landscape PDF made for note-taking apps, and the small business plan template, which is a US Letter .docx document.

Updated October 29, 2026

Do I need to be good with spreadsheets to use ProfitDrawer files?

No. With a ProfitDrawer bookkeeping spreadsheet you type your numbers into white boxes and every total, chart and dashboard updates by itself. Seven setup steps on the START HERE tab take about five minutes: fill in Settings, check your categories, clear the 5 example rows and start adding income, expenses and trips. Categories are dropdowns, and every formula is already written.

Can I use a ProfitDrawer spreadsheet on my phone?

Yes, through Google Sheets. After you import the ProfitDrawer .xlsx file into Google Sheets in your own Google Drive, you can open it in the free ($0) Google Sheets app, which Google says can view and edit Google spreadsheets and Excel files on a phone or tablet. Google notes that large files may not open on every device. The product pages do not describe phone use, so do the setup on a computer.

What is the difference between a ProfitDrawer spreadsheet and a business kit?

A ProfitDrawer spreadsheet is a single bookkeeping workbook, while a business kit bundles that same spreadsheet with related files for one trade in one download. For example, the Cleaning Business Kit adds 10 gift certificate designs and a mileage log for up to 1,000 trips. Business kit files are the same as the products sold separately; startup kits add a business plan template plus a trade planner pre-filled with example costs and a launch checklist sold only in the kit.

Updated October 29, 2026

Does ProfitDrawer have a free invoice template?

Yes. ProfitDrawer's Free Invoice Template is an Excel workbook that also imports into Google Sheets. It fills in your business details, works out up to 14 line items, a discount, a tax with your own name such as sales tax or VAT, and the total due, and sets the due date from your payment terms. An Invoice Log tracks up to 500 invoices as paid, outstanding or overdue. It is free with a free account on profitdrawer.com.

Is there a ProfitDrawer spreadsheet for landlords?

Yes. The ProfitDrawer Landlord Rental Property Spreadsheet is a 12-tab bookkeeping workbook for landlords with one rental or a small portfolio. It logs rent and fees by tenant, keeps property costs such as mortgage interest, property tax, insurance and repairs in categories, lists unpaid rent flagged at 30 and 60 days, and adds it all up on a Tax Summary tab for your accountant. It works in Excel and imports into Google Sheets.

Is there a ProfitDrawer spreadsheet for church or nonprofit treasurers?

Yes, three. ProfitDrawer's Church Treasurer Bookkeeping Spreadsheet has categories for tithes, offerings, online giving, building fund and missions. The PTA Treasurer Bookkeeping Spreadsheet covers dues, fundraisers, book fairs and field trip money. The general Treasurer Bookkeeping Spreadsheet suits small charities, clubs and community groups. Each is a 12-tab workbook with monthly and annual dashboards for meeting reports, works in Excel and imports into Google Sheets.

Does ProfitDrawer sell a 2027 small business tax calendar?

Yes. The ProfitDrawer Small Business Tax Calendar 2027 + Quarterly Tax Tracker is a 17-page printable, fillable PDF in US Letter and A4, with 12 monthly pages, a 2027 at-a-glance page of federal due dates, and pages for your own state and sales tax dates. It includes an Excel tracker, which also imports into Google Sheets, for setting aside tax each quarter and logging payments. It covers dates such as April 15, 2027 and the January 18, 2028 estimated payment.

Can I share a ProfitDrawer spreadsheet with my bookkeeper or accountant?

ProfitDrawer's terms say the licence is for your own business or household and that you may not resell, share or redistribute the files, so read profitdrawer.com/terms.html or ask ProfitDrawer before giving anyone else the file. For tax time, the Tax Summary tab, 1 of the 12 tabs in each bookkeeping spreadsheet, gathers category totals, deductible amounts and the mileage deduction on one page that you can print or save as a PDF.

Updated October 29, 2026

Is ProfitDrawer tax or financial advice?

No. ProfitDrawer makes bookkeeping spreadsheets, planners, printables, free calculators and guides that help you organize your own numbers; they are general information, not tax, legal or financial advice. Its FAQ says your accountant or adviser has the final word. For example, the 25% tax set-aside in a sample bookkeeping file is a starting guide you can change, not a calculation of the tax you owe for the 2026 tax year.
