Budget tracker

A budget tracker that shows what is left to spend.

Set a monthly budget, split it into categories, and watch it update as you record spending. SmartWalt also shows a safe amount to spend today, so a budget turns into a daily number.

  • Monthly budget with days left and a safe-to-spend-today figure
  • Category limits with progress bars
  • Bills, savings goals and past months in the same Plan tab

One number: how much is left

The Budget tab shows your monthly budget, how much you have spent, how much is left and how many days remain in the month. A "safe to spend today" figure spreads what is left across the remaining days.

You can change the limit at any time and choose whether unspent budget carries over to the next month.

  • Monthly budget and amount left
  • Safe to spend today
  • Change limit and carry-over option
  • Switch months to look back
