Troubleshooting
My budget totals look wrong
Understand why budget numbers might not match your expectations.
Budget calculations in FinTrack are based on categorized transactions in the current calendar month. Here's why the numbers might look off.
- Transactions assigned to a different category won't count against the budget you're checking.
- Transactions from a different month don't affect the current month's budget.
- Refunds and credits are subtracted from the category spend.
- Recurring items only count when manually marked as paid — projected future items are not included.
