Nest — savings goals and net worth spreadsheet

Each savings goal gets a target, what you've saved and what you put in monthly; the sheet works out what's left, months to go, the projected date and whether it beats the date you wanted — plus the contribution that would hit every date. Pro adds net worth by account and type, and twelve months of snapshots with the change month by month. No macros.

Built for

  • Excel 2016+
  • Google Sheets
  • Numbers

Every workbook is recalculated in LibreOffice and by a second, independent formula engine on the sample data; the totals are compared with numbers worked out outside any spreadsheet, and every formula cell is scanned for errors. We don't run Excel itself on the build machine, so this says built for, not tested in — open the live preview to see the numbers the formulas produce.

What that means app by app: in Google Sheets, in Apple Numbers, in LibreOffice Calc.

Goals that tell you the date

A savings goal has four numbers you know — target, saved, monthly contribution, the date you want it by — and three you want: what’s left, when you’ll get there, and whether that’s in time. The sheet gives the three: months to go is what’s left over the contribution, rounded up; projected is the as-of date plus those months; on track is green when projected beats the date. A goal with no contribution says “No contribution” instead of dividing by zero, and a funded one says Done.

One more number, at the bottom: the monthly contribution that would hit every date. Each remaining amount spread over its months, added up — one SUMPRODUCT. Compare it to what you put in now.

Pro: what you’re worth, and the trend

Net worth is the list of accounts with a balance each — liabilities typed negative — and a type from Setup that says asset or liability, so net worth is a sum and the split is a SUMIF. Snapshots keeps twelve months of those balances, one column per account, and works out assets, liabilities, net worth and the month’s change; a kind line above the header lets SUMIF split each row without a formula per account.

Checked, not just built

The build recalculates both workbooks in LibreOffice and in a second, independent engine and compares thirty-nine values — months and on-track for goals that make and miss their dates, the needed-per-month total, assets, liabilities and net worth, specific snapshot months and their change — against numbers computed outside Excel.
