How much do you really have left at the end of the month? NETbudget works it out in minutes: you enter your income and expenses, the app does the rest. No connection to your bank, ever. Your budget lives on your phone, and with an account, whatever syncs is encrypted before it leaves, with a key only you hold. A BUDGET YOU READ AT A GLANCE • Money left this month, expenses by family (needs, wants, savings) and the whole year in one table • A pictogram for every line, found from its name: basketball, transit pass, health plan • Expenses by period: skiing in winter, holidays in summer • Several income sources, each with its own deductions, plus income tax withheld at source in 32 countries • Loans with a full schedule, a 15-currency converter, PDF export OFFICIAL BENCHMARKS, NOT OPINIONS Your housing, grocery or dining share against the average household in your country: Eurostat in Europe, BLS in the United States, ONS in the United Kingdom, Statistics Canada, ABS in Australia. The source and the year are always shown. A 50/30/20 benchmark that adapts to your profile, your city and your housing. A COACH THAT CITES ITS SOURCES 282 tips, filtered by your age, household, housing and country. Each one cites its official page and its verification date: unclaimed benefits, regulated savings, taxes, insurance. A tip of the week every Monday. A BUDGET FOR TWO, OR MORE One invitation code, and the shared budget shows on both sides. Each of you keeps a private space. As a family: up to six people, three spaces, the household's birthdays and projects. ONE SPACE PER PROJECT Wedding, trip, baby, party: three questions, and the budget is set with its lines, its timeline and its reminders. NOTIFICATIONS WORTH THE INTERRUPTION The monthly check-in, the tip of the week, a project milestone coming up. You set the weekly cap.
