When creating a new transaction entry, display the current total of each category next to the category name in the category dropdown.
Implementation example in YNAB 4
@MatissJanis commented on GitHub (Jan 23, 2023):
I like this idea. But should we display the running balance there? Or perhaps how much is remaining in the budget? For me it would be more beneficial to know how much is remaining.
@github-actions[bot] commented on GitHub (May 1, 2023):
✨ Thanks for sharing your idea! ✨
This repository is now using lodash style issue management for enhancements. This means enhancement issues will now be closed instead of leaving them open. This doesn’t mean we don’t accept feature requests, though! We will consider implementing ones that receive many upvotes, and we welcome contributions for any feature requests marked as needing votes (just post a comment first so we can help you make a successful contribution).
The enhancement backlog can be found here: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues?q=label%3A%22needs+votes%22+sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc+
Don’t forget to upvote the top comment with 👍!
@JavaDogWebDesign commented on GitHub (Aug 31, 2023):
I would also love to have this feature. This is how it is set up on Financier:

It uses the month's budgeted amount. Not the month's total spent.
@tjfinlinson commented on GitHub (Aug 31, 2023):
I agree that seeing the remaining amount for the category/budget would be a nice addition to the transaction screen.
@deftly1970 commented on GitHub (Aug 31, 2023):
This is the one thing I miss the most from YNAB. Seeing the remaining amount in the budget category while entering transactions is something that I greatly miss.
@sebastiansaccount commented on GitHub (Apr 3, 2024):
This feature requests points to #555 (closed) while #555 points to this #534 which is closed as well.
I would highly appreciate the requested feature, because it's an elementary component of envelope budgeting imho. I can go into more detail, but the reasons given are already quite significant and I just wanted to ask if there is feature request loop with both feature requests being closed by purpose?
@youngcw commented on GitHub (Apr 3, 2024):
@sebastiansaccount this request doesn't point anywhere. I think what you are referring to is that this ticket was mentioned in the other duplicate one.
Actual uses a Lodash style of feature requests for organization. This feature request is still active since it still has the "needs votes" tag.
@sebastiansaccount commented on GitHub (Apr 3, 2024):
Oh, I see 💡. Thank you very much for pointing it out.
I gave it my upvote and maybe it will find its way into Actual at some point.
@github-actions[bot] commented on GitHub (Apr 16, 2024):
🎉 This feature has been implemented in #2551 and will be released in the next version. Thanks for sharing your idea! 🎉
