An annual budget planner app
An annual budget plan makes costs that do not happen every month visible in advance. In Assetra, you place salary, rent, bills and subscriptions across the year, then add insurance, taxes and bonuses in their actual months. Lock the plan and compare it with monthly results to follow budget and asset changes throughout the year.
Make occasional costs visible
Looking only at this month can hide next month’s insurance or annual membership payment. Put each cost in its actual payment month. Record a service billed annually as a one-time budget expense rather than treating it as a monthly subscription.
Edit the plan in the Annual Matrix
Spread recurring income and expenses across the year and add seasonal items only to selected months. Apply a pay rise through year-end. The Annual Matrix shows items and months together, with editing scopes available from individual cells.
Lock a baseline and compare actual results
Locking the annual plan creates a starting snapshot. Later salary or statement changes affect the current budget; they do not automatically rewrite the locked baseline. Confirm actual amounts and balances at month-end to inspect differences.
Separate budget results from asset changes
A budget surplus is not your bank balance. Update actual asset balances. The Wealth Bridge separates actual savings from changes in asset values. If you enter an annual inflation rate, you can also assess real purchasing-power changes.
Carry the plan into next year
Year Rollover copies the plan with your chosen increase rate. Past records remain, and subscriptions carry forward at their current prices. Review the new year’s income and expenses separately. Monthly and annual PDF reports offer summary and detailed views.
Frequently asked questions
Does an annual plan replace monthly tracking?
No. The annual plan looks ahead, while monthly review compares actual results with it. Use them together.
Can I add a pay rise later?
Yes. Apply a change through year-end or edit months in the Annual Matrix.
Do budget entries update my assets automatically?
No. You update real balances yourself; the budget is not connected to a bank or investment account.
