Book Budget Template

Take the financial guesswork out of self-publishing. Built specifically for independent authors, this dynamic Google Sheets planner helps you track your editing, design, formatting, and marketing costs against your actual book sales. Effortlessly monitor your return on investment (ROI), predict royalty payouts, and keep your publishing business entirely in the black. Just plug in your numbers and let the built-in formulas do the heavy lifting!

What’s Included:

• Master Financial Dashboard: A top-level summary view that automatically calculates your overall expenses, total revenue, and net profit at a glance.

• Production Cost Tracker: Dedicated tabs to log your editing, cover design, formatting, and ISBN expenses so you know exactly what it cost to produce the book.

• Marketing & Launch Budget: A sheet to organize and track your ad spend, ARC platform subscriptions, promotional tours, and giveaway costs.
