Budget

I'd love to be able to plan & enter my budgets over a whole year, instead of going one month at a time. See attached for an example of a common spreadsheet format.

I would love for certain categories to be able to budget an amount for the year, rather than inputting month by month.

This was a fantastic feature in Mint that allowed you to have your unbudgeted items outside of your main budget, so you could see if there was something in a category that would not normally fit into your budget. This is different than "uncategorized" items.

Please add total variance (Difference)_ vs. Budget on the Budget page - it currently shows the Difference for each line-item category but not the TOTAL "Difference" for the Budget period chosen (the sum of the line item Differences). Also per other requests, please allow custom periods for the budget (not just the current month) showing Budget vs. Actual and Difference. Thanks!

I would find it helpful to see how I performed vs. my budget on a total basis in addition to the by-category comparison.

At the bottom of my budget I'd love to see the total budgeted for the month, and even possibly set a budget so I can split it across my categories

I have some categories that I only need to budget for once a year, like taxes. So every month, there are some categories where the budget amount is zero dollars, and it makes the list a bit hard to read, especially when I have lots of categories. It would be good if there was an option to hide all categories with zero dollars so it is easier to analyze the budget.

Support zero-based, or the envelope method of budgeting

Can you make it so that I dont have to apply a budget to each category? I just want to budget my category groups

On the Finances > Budget view, it would be so helpful if my income and my allocations were totalled up so I saw how much I could increase or decrease budgets so they're almost equal to income. Pictured is a screenshot of Mint. This lets me know that I have $629 unallocated that I could put towards a goal. Having to sum it manually in LunchMoney is very tiresome.
