Overview

This free template helps you build an expense tracker where employees can submit expenses, upload receipts, and monitor reimbursement status in one place.

It includes a sample database for expenses, categories, employees, statuses, review notes, and approvals, so you can replace scattered spreadsheets and manual email reviews with a simple app.

Why use this expense tracker template
