Subscription Tracker - Google Sheets

Quick — how much are you spending on subscriptions right now? Not a rough guess; the actual number. If you had to think about it for more than two seconds, that’s the problem. Between streaming (Netflix, Disney+, YouTubeTV, Max), productivity tools (Canva, Shopify), meal kits, gym memberships, and that language app you opened twice, the monthly total adds up fast. This Google Sheets subscription tracker puts every recurring charge in one spreadsheet so you can finally see the real damage.

The Subscriptions sheet lists every service with its category, status, frequency (weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annual), amount, and automatically calculated monthly and annual costs. At the top, a summary shows your total monthly cost, annual cost, and number of active subscriptions — three numbers that tend to be more surprising than people expect. Two built-in charts break it down further: Monthly Cost by Category shows where the money is concentrated, and Top Most Expensive makes your biggest charges impossible to ignore. A Notes column lets you flag subscriptions with reminders like “may cancel due to price increase” or “free plan might be sufficient” — so the next time you review, past-you has already done the thinking.

The Calendar automatically fills in every renewal date for any month and year you choose. You’ll see exactly which charges land on which days, so there are no surprises when you check your bank statement. It’s also a handy way to spot overlap — do you really need three streaming services all renewing the same week?

This tracker includes both the Google Sheets and Excel versions, so you can work from any device or keep a local copy. No app to download, no account to create, and — unlike most of the things you’re tracking — no recurring fee. Just open the spreadsheet, list your subscriptions, and face the number. You might cancel a few things by the time you’re done entering them.
