Monthly shows what’s left of your income after rent, bills, and subscriptions – without tracking every coffee. Add your income and recurring expenses once. Monthly uses their schedules and due dates to work out your budget. FIXED COSTS WITHOUT THE MATH Rent every month, insurance once a year: Monthly includes each payment in the budget month it falls in. You can plan for one-time income and expenses, too. YOUR BUDGET, YOUR SCHEDULE Choose when your budget month starts, whether that’s payday or another date that suits you. Roll your remaining budget into the next month if you want to, and make adjustments when needed. HOUSEHOLDS & ACCOUNTS Manage separate households and assign income and expenses to accounts. See the budget for each account as well as your household total. REMINDERS ON YOUR TERMS Set a reminder for an individual expense. You choose the day and time, and Monthly sends you a notification. CATEGORIES & INSIGHTS Group expenses into categories such as housing, transportation, or leisure, with colors and icons of your choice. See how your income, expenses, and budget change over time. WIDGETS & QUICK ACCESS Check your monthly budget and upcoming expenses from your Home Screen, without opening Monthly. The Control opens the new-expense form straight from Control Center. CSV EXPORT Export your income and expenses as a CSV file to review them in a spreadsheet or use them elsewhere. FREE & PRIVATE No ads, tracking, subscription fees, or sign-up.
