Daily Budget Original
Frequently asked questions
Daily Budget Original is our first app, from 2012. Our new app is Today's Budget, and its help is at todays-budget.com/faq.
General
How is Daily Budget calculated?
Daily Budget is your income minus fixed costs, minus saving, calculated per day.
How do I customize the categories in the app?
Is Daily Budget Original available on Android?
No, Daily Budget Original is only available for iOS (iPhone, iPad).
Where can I edit a fixed cost?
Where can I see how much is left this month?
How can I start fresh after a pause?
The budgeting in the app starts from the day you begin using it. We designed it this way to make the budgeting process simpler for you, so you don't have to worry about entering past expenses.
However, if you really want to include past expenses and income, you do have the option to edit the start date. We don't generally recommend doing this.
Watch: Starting fresh after a break (new cycle, cycle editing)
How can I enter expenses from yesterday?
Does Daily Budget connect to my bank account?
No, the app does not connect to a bank account.
