Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I'd like to track my monthly savings rate as a percentage over time, displayed as a bar chart
on the dashboard (YTD or any custom range).

  • The savings rate formula is: savings rate (%) = (expenses / net income)

Currently, Custom Reports can only display absolute values (€/$). There is no way to express
a ratio or percentage between two metrics (e.g. expenses ÷ income) as the Y axis of a time-based
chart. The existing Savings widget (shown on the dashboard) only displays the rate for a single
month
— it cannot show the monthly evolution over time.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Add support for a percentage / ratio balance type in Custom Reports, so that users can create
a time-based bar or line chart where each data point represents:

(metric A) ÷ (metric B) × 100
