A few useful details

Is this a free version of Luke Twelve?

It is a free, standalone worksheet. The Luke Twelve application adds an ongoing planning workflow with financial health, budgets, reporting and plan-specific forecasting features. See the plans for details.

How is the result calculated?

Cash reviewed minus restricted/designated allocations, additional reserves and other unpaid commitments. The categories must not overlap. For example, a payment already covered by restricted cash should not also be deducted as an “other” commitment.

Your reserve allocation comes from your church’s own policy. This tool does not recommend a reserve target or determine whether spending is affordable.

What if I don’t know one of the totals?

Try the example to see how the worksheet works, then ask your treasurer or finance lead for the missing total. Entering zero for an unknown allocation can overstate the result.

Can I use this without giving you an email?

Yes. Build and print your worksheet without an account or email. The calculator does not upload or store the figures you enter. If you request a walkthrough, only the fields in that separate contact form are sent.
