Home Contents Inventory Worksheet
Itemize your belongings by room, assign estimated replacement values, and print or save a PDF copy for your insurance records before a claim happens.
This worksheet is for general organization only. Claim settlement depends on your policy wording, limits, deductibles, exclusions, proof of loss, and adjuster review.

How to make your contents inventory more useful
A spreadsheet is helpful, but photos and documents can make it much easier to explain what you owned after a serious claim. You do not need a perfect file. Start with what you can do now.
Take room photos
Stand in each corner and take wide photos. Open closets, drawers, cabinets, storage rooms, and tool chests.
Capture important details
Photograph serial numbers, model numbers, appraisals, receipts, bike frames, tools, jewelry, electronics, and appliances.
Save it somewhere safe
Save the PDF and photos in your email, cloud storage, or another secure place away from the home.
Do not include passwords, PINs, full account numbers, or sensitive identity documents in this worksheet. For electronics, serial numbers and model numbers are usually more useful than account information.
