Q. Difference between a Spending Target and a Bill?

Spending Targets are variable expenses (i.e. groceries, entertainment, or dining out). These can be linked to tags, which allow you to track your monthly expenditures.

Bills are recurring expenses (i.e. rent, loans, or insurance). These expenses generally have a due date. See the Cashflow section for more information.

You can set up Alerts in Your $ Manager to remind you of your upcoming bills! See the Cashflow section for more information on adding your bills.


Q. My Spending Target totals are incorrect. Why?

If you are having issues with your budget, please check these common causes before contacting support:

  • Confirm the accounts being tracked within your Spending If only your savings account is selected, but the transactions you want factored into your Spending Target are coming from your checking account, the Budget will not reflect those transactions until both accounts are selected.
  • If you are using tags with two or more words, such as ‘Dining Out’, you need to track this tag using the exact format, including For example, tracking transactions listed as ‘Diningout’ will not reflect in a budget looking for tags marked as ‘Dining Out’.

If you need any further assistance managing your tags or budgets, please contact support.

  2. Check the boxes next to the accounts you’d like to include
  3. Click ‘SAVE AND CLOSE’.

Q. Why is my income schedule not an option?

Cashflow is not meant for variable income, so in order to account for possible variances input your best guess ahead of time and edit once the exact value is known. The daily balance will automatically adjust to the actual income deposited into your account. Here are some tips:

  • The ‘Every other week’ option is for one paycheck every two weeks (separated by 14 days). Just choose the day of the week that you get paid
  • The ‘Twice a month’ option is always fixed on the 1st and 15th of each month
  • If you’re paid on off-dates, say the 3rd and the 18th, simply enter two separate ‘Once a month’ incomes (i.e. one on the 3rd and another on the 18th). This will allow the calendar to display your income appropriately.
