This innovative chart-based tool lets you quickly build a personal or family budget that closely matches your income. There's no need to enter every expense transaction; for each expense category, just enter your estimate for whatever time period is most natural, and the program will instantly build this into an annual budget tree. Then model your income stream using the large easy-to-see spin controls, adjusting parameters for income, interest, tax, and inflation rates to see your budget rescale instantly. The final printout can be customized as a daily, weekly, monthly, or annual budget, showing as many budget subcategories as you choose. With Graphic Accounts, you don't need to be an accountant to build a home budget.
Build an effective personal budget quickly and easily without the tedious expense-tracking tasks which most other personal finance programs require. Choose just how much detail of spending categories to include in your final budget. Then display your home budget in a daily, weekly, monthly, or annual format.
Create a clear picture of your financial situation. See with graphic clarity the effect of your current spending pattern on your overall bank balance. Notice which areas of discretionary spending are having the greatest effect on your bottom line. Now rescale these categories - using the program's integrated rescaling control - and instantly observe the effect on the bottom line in your chart.
Explain to partners and family members using the combined income-expenditure charts, just where the money goes, and how best to manage it. Anyone who spends money can benefit from this eye-opening experience. Create a personalised budget for each household member relating to their own spending habits.
Show instantly the effect of proposed changes in spending habits on your present and future wealth. Observe the effects of economizing or overspending on the program's graphic bank balance. See the effect of your proposed budget over 5, 10 or more years.
Test your provisional budget against assumptions about future income, and expected interest, tax and inflation rates. Observe to what extent your financial bottom line reacts to slight adjustments to each of these factors.
Educate and inform by providing a powerful teaching aid to graphically illustrate the effects of interest and inflation. The principles which govern the management of personal or national budgets can be vividly brought to life. An interactive educational tool to challenge and divert young minds.
