Any chance of this?
This would be great. Rolling budgets doesn’t quite do it.
Excellent idea!
I’ll have to check with the development team but never say never!
Hey!
I’ve been using Emma Pro for a couple of weeks now and, so far, it’s been great!
Just wondering if there are any updates or ETA for the “Exclude categories from Analytics” feature?
I think this is the only main feature for me to be able to track my expenses properly… Right now I have to do a “hack” using tags.
“Bulk editing everywhere” would also be great, though not as important as Exclude categories from Analytics".
Thanks!
This is coming first for sure, but we want to do the other feature as well.
Recently been updating my budgets in the app, and I make a distinction between my recurring spending and “one-off” spending. What I would really love to see in the budgeting section is a way to set two parallel budgets being:
- Your baseline budget, your day to day needs and leisure activities that you are aiming to stick to each month irrespective of big events in any given month.
- An “exceptional” budget that you set at the beginning of each month to anticipate a large purchase or event that you have saved for or don’t think fits into your baseline budget.
This would be really helpful to track and not have your baseline budget (amount left for the month) get skewed by one-off items or events that you have planned for or unexpectedly had no control over.
Hey Adam!
I totally get this! One way to combat this is by creating custom categories for months when you know you have a one off expense coming up and then allocating the transactions to that category! Hope that helps!
Hi, just come across an idea that would be super useful in my opinion. With interest rates being higher than what we are used to at the moment it is becoming a little difficult to keep track of how much interest I’ve been paid and what is left of my personal allowance this tax year.
Just think it would be really simple and useful if you had a bar showing how much of your personal allowance has been used this tax year by adding up interest from connected banks. You could simply Input to begin with whether you’re a basic tax or higher tax rate payer to determine the total personal allowance. Could extend this feature to show projected perhaps too.
Not seen this anywhere else and literally just thought of this so let me know if there any holes in this idea?
Also to note, I recommended a feature last year where the the “see all subscriptions” tab shows the total at the top. Please this would be so simple yet again very useful just to know exactly how much committed spending in total would be for each month and perhaps year. I referred to an app I currently use called Bobby simply for this.
This is already in the budgeting section of the app?
We have the total with the left to pay there.
I see it shows how much left to pay this month from committed spending, which is great. But could a total be added to the ‘recurring payments’ section?. Like a total at the the top or bottom. I want to see the total of my commuted spending, not just the amount left to pay of commuted spending
Recurring payments can be of all sorts weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, yearly, so a total there doesn’t work really well; but we can add the total in Budgeting. As of now, it just shows what’s left.
Annual budgeting
It would be great to be able to have an annual budget for some categories, especially travel and high cost items. As a user, when I pay for an expensive flight it’s likely to put me over my monthly budget on Emma in a given month, but I don’t pay for travel every month, so I won’t go over my overall annual budget. It would be great to be able to split the cost of a high cost flight across the travel budget for multiple months or have a feature that allows some categories to be annual rather than monthly.
Yes please to yearly budget categories or to exclude from the monthly budget.
I like this ! I’ll share with the team to see if this is something that could be incorporated into the app!
Would be nice to be able to re-order monthly/weekly budgets - by custom sort, rather than just alphabetically .
This is a great suggestion we’ll look into! Thanks Aivaras!
3 things I would like to see:
-
The ability to add in a future transaction as an expense that I know will be coming making my predicted real balance accurate.
-
The ability to track a selected category separately excluding it from my main budget. I save money for events like Christmas, holidays, house move etc and have a budgets for each event. Normally the spending for these happens over a few months each and during that time I want to be able to track my normal day to day budget but also make sure I stick to my event budget. Excluding a category from day to day budgeting would help.
-
I would like some extra views covering regular payments, including monthly trending of the total value of regular payments. It’s good to see your core financial commitment and if it is changing.
Hello,
It would be great to be able to connect budgeting with shared transactions.
I would like to be able to get a better idea on my spending and it would be extremely beneficial to be able to properly assign shared transactions to categories.
Eg I share rent, utilities, food, drinks, travel expenses with one person and we have an ongoing tab and it’s rarely ever paid up. I want to properly code these transactions to the appropriate category when they are paid for by the other person and shared with me. When I share them, I would like to have that reflected in my budgeting rather than the full amount.
Perhaps all you need is a tick box so that individuals can choose whether they want the transaction amount to be updated in budgeting when they share a transaction with someone.
Right now, the only way I can do this is manually by manually excluding half a transaction and manually inputting transactions that are shared with me - which is too much work!!!
Hey @Vedikaj,
