FAQ

Common questions

Is this a full household budget tool?

It is a lightweight planner focused on monthly remainder. It helps users make quick decisions, but it does not replace a full household budget or cash-flow workbook.

What should I put into fixed costs?

Use rent, bills, debt payments, insurance, and other predictable monthly obligations. That keeps the result realistic without making the tool complicated.

Use with context

Short scope and trust notes, kept out of the way.
