How This Template Works
The CAPEX Planning template gives finance and operations managers a structured Excel system for planning, approving, and tracking capital expenditure requests. The workbook covers the full capital expenditure lifecycle: project submission with business justification, approval workflow tracking, depreciation schedule calculations, and ongoing budget-to-actual monitoring.
Depreciation schedules support straight-line and declining balance methods with asset life inputs, so your finance team can immediately see the impact on future periods. The approval workflow tab documents who approved each request and when, creating an audit trail for internal controls. For organizations managing hardware assets specifically, see our [hardware capitalization schedule](/templates/hardware-capitalization-schedule). Pair with our [budget template](/templates/budget-template) for integrating capex into your overall financial plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
What depreciation methods does the template support?
The template supports straight-line depreciation and declining balance methods. You enter the asset cost, salvage value, and useful life, and the schedule calculates annual and monthly depreciation automatically.
Can this be used for both equipment and software capitalization?
Yes. The template is asset-type agnostic — use it for manufacturing equipment, IT hardware, software development costs, or real estate improvements. Just categorize appropriately in the asset type field.
How does this help with budget approval processes?
The approval workflow tab creates a documented record showing who reviewed and approved each capital request, with dates and notes. This satisfies internal control requirements for capital expenditure governance.
