How to Use the Home Inventory Template
- Clear the two sample items. The inventory opens with a sample TV and refrigerator so you can see what a finished entry looks like. Review them, then delete them or edit them into your own items.
- Add your belongings room by room. Select Add Item and choose a room and a category for each entry. Working through one room at a time, including the garage, basement, attic, and patio, makes it much harder to miss things.
- Record the details that identify each item. Enter the brand, model, serial number, purchase date, purchase price, current value, receipt details, and warranty expiration. The more valuable the item, the more of these fields are worth completing.
- Filter to check for gaps. Use the room and category filters to review one section at a time. The item count and total value update as you filter, so a room that looks too small stands out.
- Export or print before you leave the page. Select Export CSV to save a spreadsheet file, or Print Inventory for a paper copy. Entries are not saved on this page, so export before you refresh or close it, and keep a copy somewhere away from your home.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should a home inventory include?+
List each item with its room, category, brand, model, serial number, purchase date, purchase price, and current value. Add receipt and warranty details where you have them. Photos of the items, receipts, and serial numbers are worth keeping alongside the list.
Does this template save my entries?+
No. Your entries stay on the page only until you refresh or close it. Use Export CSV to save a spreadsheet file to your device, or Print Inventory for a paper copy, before you leave.
What is the difference between purchase price and current value?+
Purchase price is what you paid. Current value is your estimate of what the item is worth now. Insurance policies differ on whether they pay replacement cost or actual cash value, so check yours and ask your insurer how they want items valued.
How often should I update my home inventory?+
Review it at least once a year so the values stay accurate, and add major purchases when you make them.
Where should I keep my home inventory?+
Keep a copy away from your home, such as in cloud storage or with someone you trust. A copy stored only in the house can be lost in the same fire or flood you would need it for.
