How to Set a Category Budget
Setting category budgets helps you monitor spending limits before overspending happens.
Creating a Budget Target
- Go to the Budgets section in the app.
- Select an expense category (e.g. Food & Dining, Utilities, Entertainment).
- Set your target monthly spending limit.
- Save your budget.
Smart Threshold Alerts
Budgt automatically tracks your progress and alerts you at key milestones:

- 80%: Cautionary alert to watch remaining spending.
- 100%: Alert when monthly budget capacity is reached.
