Show total budget for the month

Rob J

For starters, this is the best budget app I have ever used - and I've used a lot of them!

It did not take long for me to buy the mac and iphone app licenses.

Using one of your screenshots as an example, what I would love is for the month budget to total all of the categories budgeted for each month (please see screenshot attached).

The month by column view is exactly how I budget in Google sheets and the categories can be totalled. To avoid having to start/amend my budget in Google sheets and see the running total, it would be super to see totals in the budget section if possible please.

Thank you!

Hello.
Simply add a custom budget entry and name it “Total”. Follow this instruction: https://community.alzex.com/d/1405-how-to-budget-track-financial-goals-and-cut-expenses

Hi Alexandr,

Thank you for such a speedy reply. Ah yes, I did see this instruction earlier.

Sorry, I can explain my idea a bit better.

As you can see in the screenshot, when adding a total to track all categories, this would be the total that you wish not to exceed for all categories, rather than the total of the categories I have budgeted for in reality.

I wonder if it might soon be possible to have an automatic total/sum/tally of the categories that I have budgeted for in a given month as I add them?

So if I add £100 for groceries in July, the total is £100.

Then, if I add £600 for rent, the total is automatically set to £700.

This way, based on my balance, I know how much money I have left to budget on categories and whether I have over-budgeted without needing to use a calculator to add up the category budgets one by one.

This would also help when I need to amend my budgets mid-month, moving money from one category to another, ensuring the total budget matches the available balance I have, so every penny is accounted for.

I hope that makes sense?

Thank you,

Rob

Ok, we'll add this in the next update.
