read an envelope

Open an envelope to see its balance and the transactions that changed it.

The balance card uses one word beside the amount:

Word Meaning

over How far the envelope is below zero. For example, $20 over means a balance of −$20.
saved Money currently in a savings envelope. If it goes below zero, the word changes to over.
A variable envelope with its amount left, amount spent and stuffed, and transaction history. A variable envelope with its amount left, amount spent and stuffed, and transaction history.

For variable and fixed envelopes, the line below compares what you spent with what you stuffed. It also shows the next stuffing date when the envelope is not overspent.

The amount left can include money carried from a previous budget, income put straight in the envelope or money moved between envelopes. It is not always the stuffed amount minus spending for this budget.

A fixed envelope with a payment schedule has a schedule card. A savings envelope with a goal shows progress toward it. Set a savings goal if you want a target.

Scroll down to the transaction list. Tap a recorded transaction to see transaction details, where you can edit or delete it.

For an overspent envelope, move money opens a transfer with the amount needed to bring it back to zero already filled in.
