What you will find in Plantillas
Montiva Plantillas contains a curated set of practical documents that can be adapted for different household sizes and work situations. Each template focuses on clarity and minimalism. You will find a daily expense tracker that separates recurring costs from variable ones, a monthly family budget designed to include savings goals and irregular payments, and a freelancer income and expense sheet that helps record invoices and tax-related items. Templates include clear labels, example entries, and short notes explaining how to fill common rows. For users in Ciudad de México, León, and Monterrey we include annotated examples that reflect typical local prices so you can see how categories translate into real sums. All templates are offered in downloadable formats suitable for common spreadsheet programs and for printing. The goal is to allow rapid adoption, not perfection, so you can start using a sheet today and refine it over time.
Daily Expense Tracker
A simple table to record daily purchases, categorize essentials, and flag irregular expenses. Use it to see short-term patterns and limit category drift.
Monthly Family Budget
A full month planner that includes income entries, fixed costs, variable spending, and a small savings line. Includes example values for several Mexican cities.
Freelancer Income Sheet
Track invoices, recurring clients, tax estimates, and monthly net income. Designed for independent professionals who invoice irregularly.
How to use a template
Start by choosing the template that best matches your situation. If you are tracking daily purchases, open the Daily Expense Tracker and fill the first week with your real entries. Categorize each expense as transport, groceries, services, or leisure. After seven days review totals by category and consider a small adjustment for the next week. For monthly budgets, list all known incomes and fixed costs first, then estimate variable spending using recent receipts. Dedicate a row for irregular payments such as car maintenance or school fees and allocate a monthly fraction toward them. Freelancers should enter invoices with dates and client names, then reconcile with actual payments to spot delayed collections. The templates are tools to create repeatable habits. Use them weekly and update categories as needed. If you need help, contact our team through the Contact page for guidance.
