GrantBook: grant status without the fragile sponsored-programs spreadsheet

Before the next hire or equipment PO, someone rebuilds the award status sheet: budget by category, actuals, encumbrances, and a hope that F&A still matches the negotiated rate.

GrantBook is a free, local-first grant budget vs actual workpaper for research administrators and sponsored programs offices. No account. No upload.

What you get

• Direct, F&A, and cost-share lines with budget, actual, and encumbered
• Available balance and spent % with watch / over flags
• Spend pace vs calendar; monthly burn; months remaining at burn
• F&A budget from directs × negotiated rate
• Budget CSV, exceptions CSV, sponsor summary

Honest limits

Not a grants management system or official financial report. Enter figures from your system of record.
