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.
