Income and Expenditure Account and Balance Sheet Format in Excel

This is a typical Income and Expenditure Account and Balance Sheet.

What Is an Income and Expenditure Account?

An Income and Expenditure Account is needed to know whether the balance of a non-trading entity is surplus or deficit. The account depicts the financial status of the entity. The account is similar to the profit and loss account of a business institution.

Key Features of an Income and Expenditure Account

(i) Non-trading entities’ Income and Expenditure Accounts are similar to the Profit and Loss Accounts of trading entities.

(ii) Similar to all other financial accounts, Income and Expenditure Accounts are created by strictly following the double-entry system of bookkeeping .

(iii) These accounts are created at the end of the year.

(iv) The balance sheet of this account depicts surplus or deficit balance.

(v) The surplus or deficit balance from the income and expenditure account is usually moved to a Capital Fund Account.

(vi) It is common not to incorporate capital Income or Expenditure accounts in this type of account.

Creating an Income and Expenditure Account and Balance Sheet Format in Excel

A typical Income and Expenditure and Balance Sheet contains 2 separate columns for Income and Expenditure. Both Income and Expenditure have their own Amount column with additional or discounted amount entries. This is a possible sample.

Users can add rows to an account’s Balance Sheet. The format of entries may vary, but the basic Account and Balance Sheet format remains the same.

There are two kinds of Income and Expenditure and Balance Sheet formats depending on the final calculated amount. If incomes exceed expenditures, the balance is referred to as Surplus Balance. Otherwise, it’s referred to as Deficit Balance.

Surplus Balance Sheet Format

The Surplus Balance occurs when the total income amount is greater than the expenditures. The Surplus Balance figure is usually placed under the Expenditure column. This is an Income and Expenditure and Balance Sheet sample:

Deficit Balance Sheet Format

Unlike the Surplus Balance, a Deficit Balance happens when the expenditure amount is greater than the accumulated income. The Deficit Balance is usually placed under the Incomes column. This is a Deficit Balance account sample:
