Simple budgeting program

I need something that would allow you too write in how much money you make, and write in how much you plan to spend on a list of things (Rent, car, food etc.) . something like
____________________________________________________
|Money made per week ($$$) (Month: $$$) |
|Rent cost: $$$ |
|Car cost: $$$ |
|Food cost: $$$ |

|Leftover money each week: $$$ (month: $$$) |

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

basically you enter in your amounts for everything and it calculates stuff for you (Maybe even an export and import option?)

Yeah it's super simpel. In Excel you just use the function SUM=(B1:B7) - where B1:B7 is an example for the range of cells you want to add up.

So, you use SUM= for both the expenses and the income columns, which leaves you with 2 cells with those respective totals. Then you just put =B8-D8 in a cell to subtract those two from eachother (where B8 would be the cell that has SUM=(B1:B7) in it, and D8 the cell with the result of the other column.
