At first glance, there is a discrepancy because (in the first line) 15 + 0 != 30. Of course, this is because there was a $15 rollover from the previous month. It doesn't take long to figure out, but a little counter-intuitive to me.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

My suggestion is to add an option to show a column to the left of the budgeted amount showing how much money was rolled into the month. Something like

If multiple months are shown, then this column only appears on the first month since the others have the rollover amount already visible.
