Free home inventory spreadsheet template

A simple, insurance-oriented template: one row per item, columns your adjuster will actually ask about — room, item, brand, quantity, price, purchase date, serial number, receipt.

How to use it

• Walk room by room; list items as you go — don't aim for perfect, aim for complete.
• For anything over ~$300, record the serial number and keep the receipt.
• Store a copy outside your home (cloud drive or email it to yourself).
• Update after big purchases and once a season.

The honest catch with spreadsheets

Spreadsheets hold text, but claims are won with photos. A picture of the item, its serial plate and the receipt says more than any row. That's exactly what the ItemVault app adds: photo-first capture, barcode scanning for serials, receipts attached to items, and an insurance-ready PDF — while your data stays on your phone.
