Common questions

Straight answers about how this BillForecast workflow fits real planning.

What is spending prediction in a personal finance app?

In BillForecast, spending prediction means using balances, transactions, recurring bills, and planned activity to show future balance pressure rather than guessing from averages alone.

How can I see my money future before bills are due?

Add current balances and recurring commitments, then use the forecast views to see projected balances, low points, and upcoming obligations.

Why use a cash-flow forecast instead of only a budget?

A budget shows limits by category, while a forecast shows timing. Seeing both helps you understand whether upcoming bills fit the cash you expect to have.
