💰 Tally-Student Budget Tracker
Inspiration: Managing money as a student can be challenging. With limited budgets, daily expenses, food, transportation, and other small purchases can quickly add up. Sometimes, I don't realize how much I have spent until my money is almost gone.
That's why I created Tally-Student Budget Tracker: a simple and practical way for students to manage their monthly budgets, track expenses, and become more financially aware.
My goal was to make budgeting less complicated and help students make smarter everyday spending decisions.
What It Does: Tally is a simple monthly budgeting application designed especially for students.
Its key features include: -Monthly Budget: Set a monthly budget and keep track of spending. -Daily Safe-to-Spend Amount: See how much money can safely be spent per day based on the remaining budget. -Expense Tracking: Add expenses with an amount, category, date, and optional note. -Expense Breakdown: Understand where money goes through categorized expense summaries. -Monthly Expense History: Review expenses for the current month. -All Months: Access budgeting information across different months. -CSV Export: Download expense records for further analysis or record keeping. -Currency Selection: Choose a preferred currency.
How I Built It: I built Tally with a focus on simplicity, accessibility, and ease of use. I designed a clean interface where users can select a month and currency, set a monthly budget, and record their expenses. I developed the expense tracking system to organize transactions by category and date. I also implemented a daily safe-to-spend feature to help users understand how much they can afford to spend while staying within their monthly budget.
Additionally, I included CSV export functionality so users can download and manage their expense records.
