Tools for the job, not just the theory

Keep track of when all your invoices are due — and know exactly what to set aside for tax, without lifting a finger.

Know exactly what's owed to you and when it's due — without trawling back through emails or guessing. Add each invoice as you send it, and the sheet works out the due date from your payment terms automatically, flags anything overdue, and tells you at a glance who's paid, who's outstanding, and who's late.

And because it knows the amount, it also works out what to set aside for tax on every invoice as you go — so by the time your tax return is due, you're not left trying to reconstruct a year of income from scratch.

What's inside:

An Invoice Log that calculates due dates automatically from your payment terms, works out tax to set aside on every invoice, and flags anything overdue (with days overdue counted for you) so nothing slips through the cracks.

A Recurring Expenses sheet for your set monthly costs — phone bill, subscriptions, insurance — with a running annual total, plus a One-Off Expenses sheet for everything else as it comes up.

A Mileage Log using HMRC's official rate, so business trips are tracked and costed properly.

A Tax Year Overview that pulls everything together — total invoiced, received, outstanding, expenses, and net profit — and estimates your actual Income Tax and Class 4 National Insurance bill using current UK rates, so you know roughly what you're working towards.

A guide sheet explaining how each tab works, so you're never stuck.

Works in both Excel and Google Sheets. Instant digital download — no subscription, yours to keep and use year after year.

Please note: the tax estimate is a simplified planning tool to help you budget, not a substitute for professional advice — always check your actual figures with an accountant or HMRC before filing.

Every freelance costume and styling job comes with its own spreadsheet chaos: guessing what's VAT and what isn't, chasing PR loans that never quite make it back, and hunting through old messages for someone's shoe size the morning of a fitting. This tracker replaces all of it with one system built specifically for how costume and styling jobs actually run.

What's inside:

Budget Breakdown, log the job details once and watch a live budget summary tell you exactly what's been spent and what's still owed, without touching a calculator.

Budget log, every purchase in one place. Enter what you paid and VAT and net work themselves out automatically, so nothing gets miscalculated on your invoice.

Loans Log, track every PR loan from pickup to return with a colour-coded status, so nothing goes missing and nothing gets forgotten.

Measurements sheet, every cast and client measurement in one place, ready before every fitting.

Built by a working stylist, for working stylists. No formulas to fix, no formatting to fight, just fill it in and go.

Instant digital download. Opens in Excel or Google Sheets.
