Know what is available today

Estimate a spending allowance from the balance you enter.

  • Choose a daily, weekly or monthly allowance.
  • Set aside bills, commitments and a buffer first.
  • Use several income schedules, with expected income kept separate from money available now.

Try a decision before making it

Explore a change before committing it to your records.

  • Try a purchase or delayed-income scenario.
  • Create named savings pots and contribution plans.
  • Use the 90-day forecast and calendar to spot pressure on your budget.

Keep the plan connected to reality

Keep the plan aligned with what has actually happened.

  • Record transactions and review spending by category.
  • Compare the plan with your actual balance, marking income received and bills paid.
  • Use recovery copies, optional encrypted backups and storage-error messages to protect your history.
