HOW THE SAFE-BUDGET FEATURE WORKS

After you record at least three months of income, the tracker uses the lower of your recent 3-month and 6-month average income to suggest a conservative monthly planning figure. This is designed to help you avoid building fixed expenses around one unusually strong month.
