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 would like the feature for the user to schedule a recurring transaction, where the amount specified for each transaction is a percentage of the current amount within the account. This could be interest earned every month in a savings account, or the compounded interest on student loans. Currently the limit is specifying a rough or approximate amount each transactions.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

within the amount section for the recurring transaction, have the user select the "percentage of" option. This would invoke a algorithm or function based on the type of interest incurring transaction there is, that being either fixed or compounded. Leave it at those two, no need to complicate things further as those are the most basic forms of incurred interest.

Teaching and learning

A new page within the docs sections, or a foot note for a update, would bring users' attention to the new feature.
