What is a Goal?
A goal is something you save up for. A new car, a house or something else. It can also be that you are an expatriate in a foreign country and you want to save up a certain amount before you move back home - then you set that amount as goal and the amount you want to put aside every month, and you can then see when you will reach your goal.

What does Planned and Actual mean?
Planned amount is the amount you expect for income or expense. Actual is the amount you actually paid. For example, you planned the expense for electricity would be 400 for the month. When the actual bill arrived and you paid it, it was 324,75. This is what you input in Actual. Then we will calculate the difference and show you in the column to the right of Actual column. You can add a note to explain the difference if you want.
