Understanding Your Budget

Your budget is divided into two main parts: income and expenses.

Income refers to the money you receive regularly, such as your salary, bonuses, or any other sources of income. In this app, you can input as many sources of income as you like.

Expenses refer to the money you spend regularly, such as rent, bills, groceries, or any other expenses. In this app, you can input as many expenses as you like.

Once you've inputted your income and expenses, the app will automatically calculate your total income and total expenses, and subtract your expenses from your income to give you your net income.

Visualizing Your Budget

The app also provides visual representations of your budget through pie and bar charts.

The pie chart shows the proportion of your income and expenses. Each slice of the pie represents a category of income or expense, and the size of the slice represents the proportion of your budget that category makes up.

The bar chart shows the amounts of your income, expenses, expected income (twice the amount of your expenses), and net income side by side. Each bar represents a category, and the height of the bar represents the amount of money in that category.
