New feature request

[tobybardavid]

Hi, have recently signed up to Emma Ultimate and really love the flexibility of expense tracking. One feature request from me is to be able to amortise bigger expenses over a given time period. For example, I pay for my car insurance once a year but would like to be able to spread that over 12 months when I look at my spending, otherwise it just distorts all my monthly tracking. Another example would be holiday spending, which is usually concentrated in a couple months per year but I personally like to think of it as an average monthly spend.

And one integration request: Marcus .

Thanks for all the great work !

There are some users who do this with the Split Transaction feature; I wouldn’t recommend it but technically you can take the large sum and split it across 12 payments. You can then change the date of each payment. It can get a bit convoluted, but it sort of works.

@edoardomoreni what makes you not recommend that approach?

It can get messy
