Frequently Asked Questions
- Are my expense records uploaded to external servers?
- No. All expense entries and financial figures remain strictly inside your browser session and are processed locally.
- What is the difference between recurring and one-off expenses?
- Recurring expenses represent predictable commitments that repeat every monthly cycle like rent or internet bills. One-off expenses are non-repeating transactions like dining out or emergency repairs.
- How is the annualized projection calculated?
- The annualized figure multiplies your current monthly total by twelve to forecast your yearly burn rate under current spending patterns.
