Updated 2026-10-07

A budget is the amount you plan to spend in a category each month. DuoCents compares it with what you actually spend, so you can see where you stand at a glance.

Where to find it

Open Budget from the bottom bar.

Steps

  1. At the top you see the period and Left to spend, the part of your budget you have not used yet.
  2. Use the arrows next to the period to move to the previous or next month.
