About SimpleDesigns
SimpleDesigns builds Excel and Google Sheets templates that calculate — 86 of them so far, for clinicians, school teams, small-business owners and people organising something complicated. The calculators on this site are free extracts from those workbooks.
One workbook at a time
Every template here was built for a specific job by someone who wanted it to exist, not generated from a layout. That is why the tab lists on the product pages are the real sheet names out of the actual file, and why the screenshots are the workbook rather than a mockup.
Why the free tools use the same formulas as the paid ones
Because anything else would be a bait and switch. Every calculator here is the exact formula out of the workbook it links to — the goal progress calculation, the productivity ratio, the CE remaining-hours arithmetic. If the free tool and the paid file disagreed, one of them would be wrong, and a buyer would find out after paying.
The workbooks are worth money for a different reason: they do the same arithmetic across a whole caseload or client list, keep a history you can chart, flag what is overdue, and print something you can hand to someone else.
Privacy
The calculators run entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is transmitted, logged or stored, and there is no account. The full policy says exactly what that means.
Not advice
These tools do arithmetic. They do not make clinical, legal, employment or financial decisions, and they cannot see the context that makes a number mean something. Licensing requirements, service-minute rules, tax treatment and productivity expectations vary by state, district and employer — check yours.
