Amount per period to reach savings goal

Adding a feature that would calculate how much per paycheck you should be saving to reach your goal by the specific due date would be very helpful! Would save some excel work and keep everything within the app

Hey Taylor! Just following up to let you know we've released an update (v. 1.1.2). With this update, you can now see how much you need to add per budget for savings envelopes with a set due date and goal amount. You’ll find this in the envelope view. I'm including a screenshot for reference. Thanks!

Hey Taylor, Thanks for your feedback! Currently if you set up your savings envelope with a goal amount and a due date when you budget an amount will be suggested to you to contribute to your savings goal. When budgeting on the keypad on the bottom left there is a button that says 'suggested'. This suggested amount is based on how many paycheques you have between now and your due date divided by the goal amount. If you choose to add more or less to your savings envelope then the next time you budget the app will take that into account and suggest a different amount so that you still stay on track with your savings goal.
Are you wanting to see this information somewhere else within the app and if so, what are you envisioning? Thanks!

Hey Gabriela, the button should appear on the bottom left of the keypad when you're budgeting. I'm including a link to our help article with a screenshot for reference.
