Expense Categories
Housing, transportation, food, insurance, and 8 more categories with fully customizable line items.
How Expense Categories Work
Start with 12 pre-built categories and 86+ line items covering everything from mortgage to charitable donations. Add, remove, or rename any item to match your actual spending.
- 12 default categories: Housing, Transportation, Insurance, Food, Pet, Personal Care, Entertainment, Loans, Savings, Gifts & Donations, Legal, Taxes
- Add custom line items to any category
- Remove items that do not apply to you
- Mark each item as actual, estimated, or somewhat accurate
Why This Matters
Generic budgets miss the details that matter to real estate investors — property taxes, HOA dues, maintenance reserves, and real estate down payment savings. This tool starts with categories built for your life.
- Nothing falls through the cracks
- Customizable to your exact spending pattern
- Accuracy tracking shows which numbers you can trust
