Budgets & savings

Give everyday spending a limit and savings a purpose.

01

Create a budget

Open Budgets and set category spending limits for the period you want to track. Start with frequently recorded everyday expenses.

02

Monitor usage

Assign the correct categories to expenses. Budgets rely on recorded transactions, so missing records also mean incomplete budget usage.

03

Set a savings goal

Open Goals, choose a purpose, and enter a target amount. Record contributions for money actually set aside. A goal is a record, not a new bank account.

04

Review regularly

Compare plans with actual records in Reports. Adjust budgets when needs change, rather than only to remove an overspending indicator.
