Sounds like you want to dig into the differences between Planned, Spent, and Remaining in your budget.
-
Planned is how much you're planning to spend this month.
- The "Planned" amounts directly affect the messaging along the top where it says, "___ over budget" or "It's an EveryDollar Budget". Read more here: How to Edit "Planned" Amount on EveryDollar Mobile
-
Spent is how much you've tracked towards expenses this month.
- The "Spent" section is edited by tracking a transaction. Read more here: How to Track Transactions
-
Remaining is the amount left to spend this month.
- This is your "Planned" amount (taking into account your paycheck planning funding dates), minus your spending.
💡 Pro Tip: Paycheck Planning affects the "Remaining" section according to the schedule that is created. There is a "Safe to Spend" feature that can be toggled on/off in the settings of your mobile app and on the computer version of EveryDollar at everydollar.com.
