Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/2147

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?

Disclaimer: I know there are requests for multi-currency support in discussions, like https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/discussions/143, but discussions are closed so I figured I'd reopen the subject here.

Is there anyone already working on this? Need help? I don't have much time available and my main language is Ruby, but I'd love to make Actual work for me (and certainly a lot more people) with multi-currency.

I'm happy to collaborate with others sponsoring this development too.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

I think the proposals from the discussions are just fine.

  • Set a budget-wide currency
  • Set a per-account currency
  • Ask for either exchange rate or ending amount when doing transfers between accounts with different currencies.

Eventually, we can also automate getting suggested exchange rates but that's totally optional and should always be overidable.

If you want a role model to mimic, wiz.money seems to do this right.

Teaching and learning

I think this feature can be totally transparent for users who don't need it. Everything uses a single currency by default and the UI doesn't even need to change until an account using a currency different than the budget's is involved. And even then, we can decide if values should be displayed in one currency or the other, or both. What's important is that the values are saved with an exchange rate when needed.

If you're interested in multiple currencies, this is the most up-to-date (and 7th most upvoted issue in general) issue about it: #1132

Since the interest is evaluated by upvotes, making another issue for this sort of thing is IMO a bit counter-productive. If you have ideas that haven't been expressed yet, it's probably better to suggest them in the above issue since if anyone tries picking this up (and it's a complicated topic requiring quite a bit of designing behind it), they will probably look through that issue the most.

I swear I had searched for existing issues talking about this but somehow I didn't see that.

Anyway, I upvoted there already.

@oboxodo can this one be closed then if #1132 is sufficient?

I think it's automatically closed already, isn't it?
