Finally know what's safe to spend Simple Financials shows your real available balance โ€” accounting for paychecks, holidays, recurring expenses, loans, and life's surprises. Built for how your money actually works: Features: - Smart Paycheck Tracking - Current Balance Baseline Start by entering your current account balance. Everything flows from there โ€” income adds, expenses subtract, and you always know your real number. - Multiple Income Sources Enter your standard base pay โ€” then set a reduced amount for days with a holiday or a missed shift. Simple Financials automatically projects the correct paycheck whenever one of those days falls in your cycle. Add as many income streams as you have โ€” salary, freelance, side income. Each gets its own schedule and amount, all factored into your available balance automatically. - Annualized Expense Splitting Set a yearly due date, recurrence frequency, and installment frequency. The app divides the total and shows you exactly what to set aside each month (excluding that amount from your "available" balance) โ€” no surprises when that big bill arrives. - Loans That Auto-Expire Enter your installment amount and remaining payment count. The loan disappears from your expense sheet the moment it's paid off โ€” your safe-to-spend number automatically improves. - See where you stand before you get there With Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly forecasts for income and expenses you'll know how much you can safely spend now and later, or correct if you see a deficit upcoming. All forecasts account for holiday pay reductions, loan payoffs, and installment schedules. Up and running in minutes: 1. Enter your current balance Type in your account balance right now. This is your starting point โ€” the number everything builds from. 2. Add your income sources Set up your paycheck(s): base amount, payment cycle, and a reduced amount for short weeks or holidays. Add as many sources as you need. 3. Add your expenses Bills, subscriptions, annual vehicle registration, property taxes, loan payments โ€” enter each one with its recurrence. For loans, just add the installment amount and how many remain. 4. Know your number Simple Financials calculates your real Safe to Spend amount โ€” with daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly forecasts, all updated automatically.
