Set a budget and category limits

Updated 25 September 2026

On the Budget tab, tap Set up this month's budget. Enter a monthly limit, a limit for any category you like, or both. Forra shows what's left as you spend.

Steps

  1. Open the Budget tab and tap Set up this month's budget.
  2. Enter a Monthly spending limit (optional) for the whole household.
  3. Add Category limits (optional) for the categories you want to watch, such as groceries or eating out. One is enough to start.
  4. Tap Save.

Reading the Budget tab

  • Green: you're on track.
  • Amber, "Getting tight": you've spent 80% or more.
  • Red, "Over budget": you've spent more than the limit.

With a monthly limit set, the top of the tab shows Remaining this month.

Next month

Your limits carry over automatically when a new month starts. Each month keeps its own copy, so changing this month's limits never rewrites last month's. To change them, tap Edit budget, or tap a category to set its limit.

Add your monthly income too. Forra shows it next to your budget, and the report compares income with spending.
