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 have a credit card that acts as a line of credit. It has a maximum available value, current balance (which is negative) and every operation can be considered budgeted

Currently I'm using a on-budget account with negative values, it works, but I can't see the available amount and in the reports I didn't find a good solution on how to use this information

Once a month I need to manually check if the amount available checks out with the credit card

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

A on-budget account, that has an "available amount" or "spending limit" would work wonders, that way I can see at a glance how much is available and how much is pending

Optionally we could also add a interest option to automatically add a value based on the current account balance, but that is not the main goal

You can use the notes on the account page to note it there. (You could also make it part of the account name.) I use the notes to track the normal due date, the closing date, the usual date the statement becomes available and the credit limit. I can easily check the balance vs the credit limit this way.

It is also helpful to turn on the running balance and to unhide all transactions.
