Shoots, deposits, expenses and the profit left on each booking.

A wedding at £1,800 is not £1,800 of income. Second shooter, travel, album, editing hours and the card that failed all come out of it first.

What is in it

  • Bookings with deposit, balance and payment dates
  • Costs assigned to the shoot they belong to
  • Editing hours counted, so the day rate is honest
  • Profit per booking and per month
  • Filled example plus a blank copy

Who it is for

Wedding, portrait and event photographers.

How it works

Microsoft Excel 2016 or newer on Windows or Mac, and Google Sheets — upload the file and open it with Sheets, every formula works. LibreOffice too. No macros, no add-ons, no account to create and nothing to install.

The download is instant. Every workbook ships twice: one with a worked example already filled in so you can see what each column expects, and the same file completely blank for your own numbers. A plain-English Start Here guide comes with it as a PDF.

Buy it on Etsy — $9

Sold through my Etsy shop, ThePlainLedger, so the download, the payment and the buyer protection are all handled by Etsy. I never ask for access to anything — no password, no manager invite, no app permissions. You download a file; that is the whole transaction.
