CSSBuy: Master Your Monthly Expenses with the Spreadsheet

2025-12-01

Efficiently manage your financial flow by using formulas to summarize shipping, QC, and product costs.

For savvy shoppers and resellers using CSSBuy, tracking spending across multiple hauls is crucial. A well-structured spreadsheet automates the tedious work, giving you clear monthly insights into your replica budget. Let's build your financial command center.

1. Setting Up Your Expense Spreadsheet

Create a new spreadsheet (Google Sheets or Excel) with the following core columns:

Column Data Example Entry
A Date of Purchase/Transaction 2023-10-26
B Item Name / Description Nike Dunk Low
C Product Cost (¥) 380
D QC Photos/Service Fee (¥) 5
E Domestic Shipping (¥) 10
F International Shipping Cost (¥ or $) 420
G Agent Service Fee (¥) 20
H Total Cost (¥) [Formula]
I Month [Formula]

2. Essential Formulas for Automation

These formulas are the engine of your report. Adapt currency columns as needed.

Total Cost Per Item

In column H2

=SUM(C2:G2)

This adds up Product, QC, Domestic Shipping, International Shipping, and Fees.

Extract Month for Reporting

In column I2, to pull the month from the date for easy grouping:

=TEXT(A2, "YYYY-MM")

Or use =MONTH(A2)

Monthly Summary Totals

Create a summary section. Use SUMIF

=SUMIF(I:I, "2023-10", H:H)  // Total spent in October 2023
=SUMIFS(C:C, I:I, "2023-10")    // Product costs only for October
=SUMIFS(F:F, I:I, "2023-10")    // Shipping costs only for October

Grand Totals & Averages

=SUM(H:H)  // Total spent all-time
=AVERAGE(H:H) // Average cost per transaction
=COUNT(A:A)   // Total number of items/parcels
