First check that the budget and transaction list show the same month. A purchase made at month-end may post in the next month.
What usually causes the difference?
- A purchase is in the wrong category.
- A recent transaction hasn’t synced yet.
- A manual purchase was also imported from the bank.
- The same bank account is connected twice.
- A transfer or credit-card payment was counted as spending.
Open the category’s transactions to find the entry behind the total. Change its category if needed, then let the budget refresh.
Is “Left to spend” my bank balance?
No. It’s your planned spending minus the spending counted so far. Your bank balance also includes savings, payment timing, and other account movements.
If a total still looks wrong, email us the month, category, and the two amounts you’re comparing.
