How do I set a budget?

· 1 min

Pick a category, set a limit, and Spentio shows what's left as the month goes.

Steps

  1. Choose + at the top, then Budget.

    On iPhone: The + is at the top right of every tab.

  2. Choose Category for a whole category, or Subcategory for a finer slice, then pick it.

  3. Choose how often it starts over: Monthly, Yearly, or Campaign for dates you set, like a trip.

  4. Type the limit, then choose when to hear about it in Alert me at.

  5. Save it. It appears in Planning, under Budgets.

    On the web: Choose Create Budget.

    On iPhone: Tap Create.

Questions

What happens when I go over a budget?
Nothing is blocked. Your payments are saved as usual, and the budget shows how much you're over.
Do my rent and subscriptions count toward a budget?
Not when they're recurring payments in Spentio. A budget tracks what varies and leaves your fixed bills out.
