Alternative to excel for house extension finance tracking

[dilapidated]

I've been using excel to keep a track of spending and budgets in line with funds in the bank.

Can anyone recommend any other simple free software I can download to use on windows 10 instead of excel?

google sheets is free and very similar to Excel

Are you looking specifically for something you can download, i.e. use without an internet signal? Google Sheets will actually do that, you can run it in a browser but locally.

Excel Online is also free, but only runs online in a browser.

The usual alternative Office-like program is LibreOffice. Tech Radar lists 5 alternatives to Microsoft Office.
