Build your year month by month. Edit any cell, rename or add lines, or use the fill icon beside a line to copy Jan across the rest. Enter a cost in dollars, or flip it to a % of revenue with the $ / % switch — the dollars fall out automatically. Switch Monthly / Quarterly any time — your numbers carry over. The download recomputes in Excel.

On a phone, swipe the table sideways to reach later columns and each line's fill and $ / % controls — or tap Quarterly above for fewer columns to edit.
