Keep a recurring bill in one place. Open Bills, then select New bill.

Give the bill a name you will recognize. We will add Water, in Utilities.

Enter the expected amount and check the currency. This bill is fifty-eight US dollars, with a fixed amount.

Before you start

A viewer cannot add bills. Choose the bill’s own currency, even if it differs from your household’s home currency.

Add the bill

  1. Select New bill in the top bar or on Bills.
  2. Enter a name and choose a Category. Manage your household’s custom categories in Settings → Categories.
  3. Choose Fixed or Variable. Leave Amount blank when it is not yet known, even for a fixed bill. An entered fixed amount must be above zero; choose Variable when it changes.
  4. Choose the Currency, Due date and Frequency. Check the chosen month for a quarterly, yearly or one-off bill.
  5. Review the reminder and other optional details, then select Add bill.
  6. Open the saved bill from Bills and check its due date, amount and currency.

If your category is missing

Categories are not a fixed list. Add or restore a category in Settings → Categories, then select it for the bill. The same categories support spending summaries.

Multiple currencies

On every plan, each bill keeps its own currency. Home-currency summaries use conversion rates where available; record the actual payment in the bill’s currency.
