Why Track Your Budget
A budget gives you control over your money instead of wondering where it went. Studies show people who track their spending save 10-15% more than those who do not. This tool makes it simple: add income and expense entries, see your balance at a glance, and understand spending patterns through a category breakdown with visual bars. Filter by month to compare spending over time, or view all entries for the full picture. Knowing exactly where your money goes is the first step toward any financial goal.
Privacy-First Financial Tracking
Most budget apps require account creation, bank connections, or server-side storage of your financial data. This tool stores everything in your browser's localStorage. Your income, expenses, and spending habits remain 100% private on your device. No one else can access your financial data. Export to CSV anytime for backup or deeper analysis in Excel or Google Sheets. The trade-off for complete privacy is that data does not sync across devices automatically.
Budgeting Methods That Work
The popular 50/30/20 rule allocates 50% of income to needs like rent and groceries, 30% to wants like entertainment and dining, and 20% to savings and debt repayment. Track your savings rate with a simple formula: (Income minus Expenses) divided by Income times 100. Even small improvements in savings rate compound significantly over years. Use the category breakdown in this tool to see where your spending clusters and identify areas to cut back.
