• At the JRC-Geel's RadioNuclide Metrology sector, a Monte Carlo code based on EGSnrc, and a general purpose calculation sheet implemented in Microsoft Excel®, have been developed to make the quantitative gamma-ray spectrometry analysis of samples simpler and more robust. The further aim is that the software can be used by non-experts in gamma-ray spectrometry e.g. external researchers using JRC-Geel's facilities through the EUFRAT transnational access scheme. This paper presents the developed Monte Carlo software and the functionality included in the calculation sheet. •A Monte Carlo code has been developed and validated using EGSnrc.•A radionuclide decay generator has been written and validated.•Detection efficiency can be calculated for High Purity Germanium detector.•A flexible and user friendly analysis software using MS Excel® has been developed.•Functionalities and performances of the software are presented.
