Introducing the NEW Musician Income & Expense Tracker — Smarter, Customizable, and Powered by Airtable
A brand new customizable template, built like an app, for tracking musician finances.
Finally! I have an exciting update on a tool I’ve been promising to refresh for months!
I just rebuilt the popular Gig Income & Expense Tracker Google Sheets template completely from the ground up in Airtable, transforming it into a smarter, app-like system that’s fully customizable and so much smoother on mobile.
Guys, I love this tool.
This new version takes everything that worked in the Sheets template and re-imagines it in a more flexible, modern format. It connects your gigs, expenses, auditions, and contractors automatically so you can focus on the music, not the math.
Tool Features:
Log new gigs, auditions, and expenses using clean submission forms — no spreadsheets required.
Track your true net income automatically — with taxes, mileage, and deductions already built in.
Keep tabs on which 1099 gigs didn’t withhold taxes so you always know what to set aside each quarter and don’t get hit with a surprise tax bill.
Visualize your finances with dashboards showing income, expenses, and totals by quarter or year.
Easily attach receipts and expenses to the gigs or auditions they belong to (or log general expenses anytime).
Log and track on the go with the Airtable mobile app. No more wrestling with Google Sheets on a tiny screen.
Fully customizable. Add your own categories, adjust tax rates, or personalize your dashboards however you like.
This new version was built for musicians who want the simplicity of a spreadsheet, the power of a database, and the polish of an app, without needing to touch a line of code.
The Musician Income & Expense Tracker is the first of several Airtable templates for musicians launching soon under Audition Playbook. Keep an eye out or subscribe for updates!

Curious how it works behind the scenes? Here are a few quick answers before you dive in.
What is Airtable?
Airtable is an online tool that combines the simplicity of spreadsheets with the power of databases. It works in your browser or mobile app.
Is this a subscription-based product?
No — one time payment to copy the base into your Airtable account, then the template is yours forever.
Do I need a paid Airtable plan?
No — this template works perfectly on Airtable’s free plan. You can always upgrade later if you want to create advanced automations or extra collaborators.
What if I don’t have an Airtable account?
Not a problem. You will be directed to create a free account upon download.
Can I customize it?
Yes! Everything can be edited — add new categories, rename fields, or adjust formulas (like tax withholding or mileage rates) to fit your workflow.
Will it help with taxes?
Absolutely. You can export your data at any time (CSV or PDF).
Do I need tech experience or Airtable?
No. This base is designed for non-technical users with clear forms, pre-built views, and step-by-step guides.
