How Broke or Not works

  1. Set your starting balance

    Tell Broke or Not what you have today. That single figure is all it needs to begin projecting forward.

  2. Add your income and expenses

    Enter one-off items and recurring ones — weekly, monthly or yearly. Salary, rent, subscriptions, loan instalments, groceries, a holiday you are saving for. Each entry gets a category so you can see where the money goes.

  3. Read the balance on any future date

    Open the calendar and every day carries the balance you are projected to have on it — green when income lands, red when you would dip below zero. Tap a day to see exactly which entries produced that number.

The month, category by category

Income and spending totalled per category, with what's actually left at the end of the month.
