The budget planner puts your week on paper before you live it: planned income vs planned spending, with a projected surplus or shortfall.
What it is
A weekly planning tool on the Money screen covering built-in living costs, custom bills, and auto-save.
What it does
- Projects your weekly surplus or shortfall from real numbers.
- Adds custom recurring expenses that post weekly as real ledger transactions.
- Sweeps a set amount from everyday into savings automatically after bills.
- Shows a red alert when the week is projected over budget, plus the ‘last week you spent $X over’ line.
How to use it
- Open the Money screen and go to the Budget section.
- Add any custom bills that repeat weekly.
- Set your auto-save amount — the sweep runs after bills.
- Read the alerts and adjust before the week starts.
Good to know
Planned-vs-actual is tracked by the engine, so the weekly summary can tell you exactly where you went over.
