Reading the projections

It's not a crystal ball β€” it's your own history, extended.

πŸ’‘
Projections are available on Pro and Family plans.

How does it work?

The projection engine analyzes your history per category and determines:

β—†Regularity: do you spend in this category every month?
β—†Stability: does the amount vary little?
β—†Frequency: how many transactions per month?
β—†Trend: is it going up, down, or staying flat?
β—†Seasonality: are there months with spikes?

Based on this, it determines each category's predictability level and applies the most appropriate calculation strategy.

How much data does it need?

|---------|-------------------|

Confidence

Each projection has a confidence level:

β—†High (>80%): "You'll spend ~€450 on food"
β—†Medium (60-80%): "Probably between €380 and €520"
β—†Low (<60%): "Based on available data, between €300 and €600"
β—†Insufficient: "I can't project this category with confidence yet"

Self-correction

The engine compares each month what it projected vs what actually happened. If it detects consistent over- or under-estimation in a category, it corrects automatically. The longer you use it, the more accurate it becomes.

What's excluded?

β—†Transfers between your own accounts
β—†Credit card payments (avoids double counting)
β—†Recurring bills (handled by the bills module)
