Reports: where your money goes

Five reports, each answering one question: how many months your cash covers, how much is already spoken for, what came in and went out, where it went, and which budget figures need fixing.

Opening them

Open Reports from the menu. On a phone it is under More. Choose a month at the top, and every report on the page uses that month.

The five reports

Cash runway
If your income stopped today, how many months of spending your cash would cover. It counts only your bank and cash accounts, and averages whole months, so it errs on the short side. For the next 60 days day by day, see Runway.
Commitment load
How much of what you earn is spoken for before you decide anything: rent, EMIs, insurance, subscriptions.
In and out
What came in against what went out, month by month. It answers: am I ahead or behind?
Where it went
This month's spending by category, against what a month usually costs you. On the 11th, it compares with the first 11 days of earlier months, not with whole months.
Budget accuracy
Categories where the amount you plan keeps being wrong, again and again rather than once. A category that is ₹500 short every month is worth fixing before one that was ₹4,000 short once.

What they count

Money moved between your own accounts is not spending, so reports leave it out. Tracking accounts, like a loan you track, are left out too. Each report says under it what it did not count.

Reports show what happened. What you do about it is your decision.
