Actual Budget

Actual Budget is a personal finance application built around envelope budgeting, in which incoming money is assigned to spending categories before it is spent. Accounts, transactions and category balances are recorded and carried forward from month to month, so the budget reflects money that is actually on hand rather than a forecast.

The package listed here is distributed for Linux. It is published by the Actual Core Contributors under the MIT licence, which permits reuse and modification of the source code.

Because the interface is organised around a single budget file, users who track several unrelated sets of accounts will typically keep them in separate files rather than in one shared ledger. Anyone evaluating the application should confirm which storage and synchronisation arrangements the current release supports before committing existing records to it.
