Set a category budget
In short
Create a category limit and compare recorded spending with that limit for the selected period.
Before you start
Budgets is a Pro and Family feature. Your role and visibility affect access. A budget tracks recorded spend; it does not block purchases or reserve money in a bank account.
Create a budget
- Open Budgets and select New budget.
- Choose a Category, Period, limit and Currency. Review any alert threshold.
- Select Create, then check the category’s recorded spending against its limit.
Check unexpected progress
Inspect the category and period, related bill payments and one-time expenses. Check any missing exchange-rate warning before comparing currencies. Manage the category in Settings → Categories if needed.
