Free and easy to use

Your bank balance does not tell you what you can afford to spend.

You might look at your account and see money available. But some of that may already be needed for rent, electricity, food or other bills.

Budget Buddy brings everything together and shows you what your bank balance does not:

How much is actually safe to spend.

Open Budget Buddy and know where you stand.

  • Your bank balance, cash wallet and total money
  • What money is coming in next
  • Which bills are leaving next
  • How much must stay untouched
  • How much you can safely spend
  • Your suggested daily spending amount
  • The date your balance may become too low
  • Whether you may go overdrawn before your next payment
