Budgets
Give a spending category a monthly limit and see what's left at a glance.
Set a limit
- Go to Plan → Budgets and tap + (Set a limit).
- Choose a spending Category. You'll see what you've spent in it this month.
- Enter the Monthly limit and save.
Leaving the limit at 0 skips budgeting that category. Categories without a limit are listed separately, so you can add one later.
How budgets work
- Each limit covers one calendar month. Spent is every expense in the category since the 1st.
- Limits start fresh each month. Anything left over doesn't roll into the next month.
- The colour shows how you're doing: green is fine, amber means you're past 75%, and red means you're over.
The card at the top adds it all up for the month: how much you've spent of your total limits, and what's Left to spend (or how far you're over your limits).
Only transactions with a category count, so give your spending a category. Auto-categorize can help.
Change or remove a limit
Tap a budget to change its limit, or tap Remove limit. You can also swipe a budget to remove it.
Over-budget alerts
The first time a category goes over its limit in a month, Trinance sends a notification. See Notifications and reminders. Home's Budget status card shows your first five budgets too.
