Overview

A short planning habit, run before the month begins, shows where the money is going while there is still time to change it. It is the difference between steering and reading the map afterwards.

Key Capabilities
Fifteen minutes on the last day of the month.

Finos projects the month ahead from your bills, income dates and current limits, so planning is checking a draft rather than building one.

The bill forecast

Every known payment on the day it lands, against the balance that will be there.

The known extras

Birthdays, travel and renewals you can see coming, added as one-off lines.

The leftover

What the month leaves for saving once the above is covered.

Setup Instructions

Do the first plan with last month open beside it; the comparison is where the useful changes appear.

01 — Open next month

Finos shows the projected calendar and the limits carried forward.

02 — Add the one-offs

Anything unusual coming up, with a rough amount.

03 — Confirm the leftover

Move it to a goal now, before the month has a chance to spend it.

Security & Privacy

Projections are built from data that never leaves your encrypted workspace. Nothing is shared with the institutions you connect, and nothing is used for anything but your own view.
