Free Retail Monthly P&L Spreadsheet Template (Excel + Google Sheets)

Free Retail Monthly P&L Spreadsheet Template

Running a small store, gas station or restaurant without a real profit & loss statement is like driving with your eyes closed. You feel busy. But you don't know if you're actually making money.

This free template fixes that — in about 15 minutes a month.

What's inside the template

**Setup tab** — enter your store name, opening month, and operating expense categories once

**Monthly Inputs** — opening inventory, purchases, payroll, rent, utilities, fuel cost (if applicable)

**Daily Sales Entry** — drop in your POS totals; the sheet auto-rolls them up

**Expense Entry** — track every bill in one place

**Monthly P&L** — automatic gross margin, operating expenses, EBITDA, net profit

**Dashboard** — visual summary you can screenshot for your tax preparer or partner

Every formula is unlocked, color-coded and explained inline.

Who it's built for

Gas stations and convenience stores (fuel + c-store mix)

Restaurants & cafes

Small retail (liquor, smoke shops, dollar stores, boutique)

Service businesses with simple monthly P&L needs

How to use it (3 steps)

**Download the file** — [grab it free here](/resources/retail-monthly-pl-spreadsheet). One email, no card.

**Fill the Setup tab once** — it pre-populates the rest of the workbook.

**Enter daily sales + monthly bills** — the P&L and dashboard update automatically.

Want it as a real dashboard, not just a sheet?

Once you've used the template for a month, upload the same file to [InsightDash](/upload) — you'll get an interactive dashboard with KPIs, margin trends and AI insights in 60 seconds. No re-formatting needed.

Frequently asked
