Get this free Excel spreadsheet to track and manage chemical spend across your entire field team. It's built with automated weekly budgets, real-time actuals tracking, and team-level reporting that works from day one.
Auto-calculated weekly budgets Enter a technician's stop count once and the sheet handles the rest — multiplying it across all weeks and adding GFS and gas allowances automatically.
Budget vs. actual tracking Dedicated report sheets show each technician's budget, amount spent, amount remaining, and percentage consumed at a glance.
Month-by-month sheet structure Separate tabs for each operating month keep historical data intact and make month-over-month comparisons straightforward — no overwriting, no data loss.
Team-level roll-ups Reporting sheets aggregate spend by team, flag members tracking above 90% and 100% of budget, and surface the numbers managers need without digging through rows.

Can I add or remove technicians?
Adding technicians is straightforward — insert a new row, enter the name and stop count, and copy the formula row from an adjacent technician. The totals rows reference dynamic ranges and update automatically.

Can I modify the template for my own company?
Yes. The spreadsheet is unlocked and editable. Add your company branding, adjust the per-stop rate, add columns for additional cost categories, or restructure tabs to match your reporting cadence.
