Carry Over Overspending: Go Over, and Next Month Keeps Count

Rollover now works both ways

Rollover already carried your unspent money into next month. Now it can carry the overspending too. Turn on Also carry over overspending and a month you go over comes off the next one.

Spend $600 against a $500 budget, and next month starts at $400. Stay under, and the extra adds up. Your budget always tells the truth about where you stand.

How to turn it on

  • Open Budgets and tap a budget.
  • Turn on Roll over unused budget.
  • Turn on Also carry over overspending right under it.

The budget card shows what came across, like − $100 from last month.

Good to know

  • It counts from the month you switch it on. Earlier months never change.
  • Go over by more than a whole month's budget, and that month shows $0 left. The rest comes off the month after.
  • On a shared budget, it works for both of you.
  • Off by default. Plain rollover still only carries money you didn't spend.
