How the Accounts tab works

The Accounts tab lists every account with its balance. Tap an account to see its transactions. On a wide screen, like an iPad, they open beside the list.

At the top

These always show the current month.

  • Cash in budget accounts: the money in your checking, savings and cash accounts. Cards and loans don't count here.
  • Assigned: what you assigned this month.
  • To Assign: the money you have not planned yet.
  • Spent this month: what left your budget, card and loan accounts. Transfers between them don't count. A refund doesn't lower this number, so it can be higher than the spending on Insights.

Read a row

  • On the left are the account's icon and name.
  • On the right, the top amount is the balance. It's red below zero. On a card or loan, a balance below zero is what you owe.
  • The amount with ↓ is what you spent from this account this month.
  • Each group's header shows its total. For Tracking Accounts, see Add an account .

The orange line

An orange line under the name shows what the account still needs. You see only the first that applies:
