Enter your monthly take-home pay and bills, and the app calculates your Safe Daily Spend. You get one clear daily spending estimate based on the numbers you enter. Basic budgeting is free Enter and update your monthly Take-Home Pay and Monthly Bills directly on the Budget screen. The app does the math so you can focus on planning your daily spending. Optional Premium features Premium gives you more ways to adjust your budget: • Enter take-home pay on a weekly, biweekly, monthly, or annual basis. • List bills individually instead of entering one monthly estimate. • Set aside savings as a percentage of income or a set amount. • Select your preferred currency. • View your daily spending amount in a Home Screen widget.
