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 been using MS Money for years, and one feature I find helpful is the Cash Flow forecast. In short, ability to select an account -- usually my account I use to pay monthly bills -- and based on my scheduled transactions the forecast will tell me to the penny what I'll have in my account today, tomorrow etc. I usually view a 90 day window.

I can't find that her ein Actual Budget.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

I quick reference icon that when I click I can select a time period, and 1 or more accounts, and it will show the balance today and go forward of the time period based on known scheduled transactions.

Teaching and learning

Make it exactly like MS Money's cash flow forecast and people will be familiar with it.

You can do this in Actual.
Go to the Schedules page and set the "Change upcoming length" to the look forward you desire.
Turn on Show running balance for the account. Tada! 🎉
