- Lowers it
- Spending recorded in a budget. Money moved out of a budget into a goal or project.
- Raises it
- Unused income you put in a budget. Unused income drops by that same amount.
- Leaves it where it was
- A new bill, which comes out of unused income instead. Money moved between budgets, or between accounts.

Questions and answers
What is safe to spend?
What is left in your budgets this monthly period: each budget’s amount minus what you’ve spent, plus anything carried over. It is the first figure on Today.
Does it include income I haven’t budgeted?
No. That is unused income, shown just below it. It becomes safe to spend once you put it in a budget.
What does “Overspent” mean?
If the total across your budgets goes below zero, Today shows “Overspent this month” and the amount.
