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