Please upload a demo budget file so we could reproduce the problem.

Looks right to me for the category group you called Transfers, but those aren't 'real' transfers or special in any way from Actual's PoV, so that's a little misleading.
@jpurdy647 commented on GitHub (Feb 1, 2026):
Closing. Math works out because it is carrying over balance from previous months where the accounts that bank sync back 90 days had transactions not in the bank account that synced back only 30 days. An imbalance in transfers.
Also had an issue with available balance not matching actual account balances, found this to be caused by uncategorized transactions which were not included 9nnthe budget page math. Maybe a line can be added for uncategorized and including in the math so it is not confusing?
@StephenBrown2 commented on GitHub (Feb 2, 2026):
If you have uncategorized transactions, there's almost no way any math can work out. The yellow bar at the top of the page should be a fairly good indicator of something to fix before things will add up correctly.
