Per category a monthly pattern can be set, so the budget can differ per month. The pattern can be entered manually or copied from the actual income and expenses of this year or last year. This makes the forecast follow the real spending pattern more accurately.

For a deferred payment or scheduled write-off a reservation can be created:

  1. Click the + button at the bottom right.
  2. Choose Reservation.
  3. Enter the amount and the date.

The amount is added to the budget of the relevant month on the specified day.

To adjust an existing budget from a future point in time (for example when expecting an energy price increase):

  1. Open the category and the Budget tab.
  2. Edit the existing budget rule.
  3. Choose Adjust this budget from… and enter the start date.
  4. Enter the new amount and click Save.

The end date of the previous budget rule is automatically set to the day before the start date of the new rule.
