I'm an active-duty service member who got tired of building the same spreadsheets from scratch every PCS, every leave request, every pay cycle. So I built them once, made them good, and now I'm sharing them with you.
Every PCS move, I'd open a blank spreadsheet and start from scratch — estimating DITY costs, tracking reimbursements, figuring out what I'd actually pocket vs. what the government covers. Every leave cycle, I'd manually calculate use-or-lose days and try to plan terminal leave months out. Every pay period, I'd squint at my LES trying to make sense of BAH changes, TSP contributions, and tax withholdings.
After doing this enough times, I finally built spreadsheets that handled all of it — properly. Not a half-finished template I'd abandon, but actual tools I use every time. They saved me real time and real headaches navigating the admin grind of active-duty life.
Now I'm sharing them so other service members don't have to build it all from scratch like I did. Every template is based on real scenarios I've personally dealt with on active duty.
