What the words in AI Budgie mean.

Updated October 12, 2026

Left to spend: This month’s income less what has gone out: spending, savings you put in, and any household contribution. Money taken out of savings adds to it only when you choose.
Left to budget: Income less what you’ve planned: the part of your income that doesn’t have a job yet.
Fixed income: Income you can count on each month, such as a salary, set on the Budget page.
Other income: Income transactions you record, added to the month on their own.
Planned and actual: What you mean to spend on a category, and what your transactions say you did.
Recurring: A transaction that repeats on a schedule and is added on its own, such as rent. On the budget, a line whose plan follows those transactions.
Auto-added: A category added to this month because you spent in it with nothing planned.
Left out of the budget: Categories whose spending doesn’t count toward any budget total.
Free to use: The part of your savings account that isn’t in any goal.
Runway: How many months the money you could live on would last at your current net spending.
Shared and private: In a household, shared categories, transactions and goals belong to everyone; each person’s own budget is private unless they give one adult access.
Contribution: What an adult says they put into the household this month. Only that amount is shared.
