About

Fledge Budget

Fledge answers one question: what can I actually spend? Money comes in. The things you must pay come out. You set an amount aside for the things you budget for — the weekly shop, the petrol — and what remains is left over. Then you come back at the end of the week, put in what you really spent, and see where it differed. That loop is the whole app. Plan it, live it, check it. BUILT AROUND THE WEEK Most budgeting apps assume a monthly salary and a mortgage. Fledge starts on weeks, because a week is a size you can hold in your head — and because plenty of people are paid weekly. Switch to months whenever you like. While you are in a week, Fledge still shows how the whole month is heading, so a monthly bill never arrives as a surprise. SAY HOW SURE YOU ARE Not everything is a bill. Mark things as Must pay, Budget for, or Nice to have, and Fledge works down the list in that order, showing exactly how far your money stretches — and telling you plainly when something will not fit. WHAT YOU REALLY SPENT Budget £50 for the shop, spend £62, and Fledge shows both. Under budget is celebrated as clearly as over. Week after week, the plan starts matching your life. SAVINGS POTS Keep money aside for a holiday, an emergency, a new car — each with its own target. When a week leaves something over, Fledge offers to move it somewhere it will not quietly get spent. PAY ONCE One payment. No subscription, no adverts, no upsells, and nothing is sold or shared. Your figures are yours.
