A running total for the month allows you to manage you future expenditures based on your forecasted income and expenses, taking into account what differences have impacted your forecast.

Detailed income and expenses are input on separate pages. Use predefined categories to standardize how income and expenses should be tracked.

If you decide you want to further define the input listed by category you may enter a descrption for each item for more detail.
