How do I set category limits in my budget?

You can find your category limits inside your main budget spend limit.

  • Go to Spend

  • Tap on Budget (in some app versions, Budget may be its own tab)

  • Tap on your spend limit: this is the number underneath the hand icon on the left

Once you're on your spend limit page:

  • Flip the switch next to category limits to start budgeting by category

You can then manually adjust your spend limits for each category.

You can also edit the spend limit for a specific category by tapping that category under Spending in Budget.

How do I set a category as essential?

Your budget is broken down into Essential spending and Other spending.

To classify your categories

  • Go to Spend

  • Tap on Budget (in some app versions, Budget may be its own tab)

  • Scroll down to Spending

  • Tap Edit categories

You'll then be able to sort your categories between essential and other.
