# **What is left after the bills**

In B9, work out how much is left each month after the fixed bills: the income in B2 minus all the bills in B3:B8. Subtract one SUM instead of each bill on its own.

B9fx

|  | A | B | C | D | E | F |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Item | Per month |  |  |  | |

| 3 | Rent | 3000 |  |  |  | |
| 4 | Electricity and heating | 600 |  |  |  | |
| 5 | Transportation | 400 |  |  |  | |
| 6 | Phone and internet | 250 |  |  |  | |
| 7 | Insurance | 350 |  |  |  | |
