Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

Probably linked but not same to #517

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

Hello,
I'm using the "Budget Tracking" mode. I'd like to view my total projected budget in the "Budget" dashboard, in addition to my projected savings.

Let me give you a practical example to clarify:

Suppose today is January 2026. I'd like to visualize my budget like this:

  • December 2025
    • Saved/Overspent: 300 (current functionality)
    • Monthly Budget: 10,000 (my total budget at the end of December is 10,000 - real budget at the end of the month)
  • January 2026
    • Projected Savings: -500 (current functionality)
    • Monthly Projected Budget: 9,500 (this is the sum of last month's budget plus this month's Projected Savings)
  • February 2026
    • Projected Savings: 1,500 (current functionality)
    • Monthly Projected Budget: 11,000 (this is the sum of last month's projected budget plus this month's Projected Savings)

So in December 2026, I have a forecast of my total budget at the end of the year.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem
