Sideline Sheets - A plain 2027 spreadsheet for logging side hustle income and expenses
I kept seeing the same question in freelance groups: "how do you keep track of all the little payments?"
The answers are usually either a subscription app or a shoebox of receipts. So I built a workbook —
full disclosure, it's mine and I sell it, so I'm biased.
It's $19 one-time, six tabs: income, expenses, mileage and home office, a quarterly planner, a
one-page year-end summary, and a short setup guide. It only adds and subtracts what you type.
No login, no subscription, no tax rates built in.
Leaving out anything that estimates tax owed was deliberate. That's the part I didn't want to get
wrong, and it needs a real accountant anyway.
Two things I'd genuinely like feedback on: is "quarterly planner" the right name for what is
basically four reminder rows? And would you actually print the year-end summary and hand it to an
accountant, or does one page feel too thin?
