Savings rate after expenses

Savings rate is income minus expenses for the period, divided by income. Transfers between your own wallets are excluded from both income and expenses.

Income, expenses, and retained amount

Income, expenses, and the amount left over appear next to the percentage. A high rate on a small income can still mean less money saved than a low rate on a large income.

Transfers excluded from income and expenses

A transfer to a savings account changes where money is stored but does not create income or spending. Both sides must be linked as one transfer.

Why the rate changed

A bonus, refund, large purchase, or missing statement can produce an unusual rate for one month. Open those transactions from the report.

Personal savings target

A suitable savings rate depends on required spending, debt, and savings goals. The report treats it as a personal target, not a universal standard.
