EveryDollar isn’t a reconciliation tool. It’s designed for creating a monthly budget based on your planned income and expenses, not for matching your budget to your checking account balance.
You’ll enter your planned amounts and track transactions throughout the month. This helps you understand the why and what behind your money. With the free version, you’ll still need to balance your checking account separately. If you have EveryDollar Premium, you can use the Paycheck Planning feature to help with timing. Think of EveryDollar as a budgeting tool in your financial toolkit.
💡 Pro Tip: If you have the Premium version of EveryDollar, you can use the Paycheck Planning feature which helps you plan out when you will receive money or spend money.
