Overview
Our Rollover feature lets you rollover the underspent or overspent amount of your Planned Spending items to the following month, making tracking your fluctuating monthly expenses, like buying groceries, even easier!
For more details on using Planned Spending or the Spending Plan in general, click here!
Things to note before enabling Rollover:
Rollover can only be enabled for a Planned Spending series.
The Rollover feature can only be seen and changed in current and future months.
Planned Spending series with Rollover enabled will use the targeted amount when calculating your Spending Plan totals so that the Available amount of your Spending Plan isn’t impacted.
The Rollover amount will be reflected in the following month for that individual Planned Spending series.
When Rollover is enabled for a Planned Spending series, you’ll no longer have the option to release your available funds.
The available funds will instead be moved to the next month.
For Planned Spending series that are not set up for rollover, the calculations will stay the same.
Overspending will be counted toward the Spending Plan totals.
Underspending will use the target amount unless the leftover funds are released
