Using Categories & Tags

Categories and Tags organize your transactions and power your spending totals, budgets, and reports. If transactions are Uncategorized or miscategorized, your results won’t be accurate.

Categories = what you spent (or earned) money for
Examples: Groceries, Rent, Office Supplies, Consulting Income

Tags = extra details you want to track across categories
Examples: Vacation, Reimbursable, Client: ABC Co., Costco

Quick Examples

Business: A $45 lunch categorized as Business Meals and tagged Client: ABC Co. helps you track meals spending and see client-related totals.
Personal: A $120 grocery run categorized as Groceries and tagged Costco helps you track grocery spending and compare Costco trips over time.
