How long does it take to arrive?
It's instant. This is a digital download, so nothing is posted and there's no delivery wait. Your download link appears on the order confirmation page straight after payment and is emailed to you too. If you can't see the email, check your junk or spam folder.
Which countries can I buy from?
You can buy from the UK and the United States. US prices are shown in US dollars, and you can switch the spreadsheet to $ on the Start Here tab. We're working on opening up to more countries, so join our email list below to hear first.
Do I need Excel?
No. It works in Microsoft Excel and in free Google Sheets. In Google Sheets, go to File, Import, Upload and choose the file.
Will it work on a Mac, iPad or phone?
Yes, in Excel for Mac or Google Sheets in any browser. The Google Sheets app is handy for quick updates on your phone, but setting it up is easier on a bigger screen. Apple Numbers can open the file, but some features may not work the same.
Can I use it again next year?
Yes. It's a one-off payment with no subscription. Keep a clean copy and start a fresh one whenever you like.
How do I get my file?
You'll get a download link on the order confirmation page and by email as soon as you've paid.
