How Casual Budget works

Five small steps. The AI does most of the typing; you stay in charge.

  1. Tell it what you earn

    Add your take-home pay and the hours you work. Casual Budget works out what one hour of your work is worth.

  2. Add what you spend, the easy way

    Connect your bank, take a photo of a receipt, attach a PDF or a bank statement, or type a sentence. You can also type a record yourself or bring in a CSV file. The AI fills in the details for receipts; you check and confirm.

  3. See it as hours

    Your month becomes a basin of hours. Each kind of spending is a layer, and the space above is the time you kept.

  4. Plan, then look back kindly

    Set a plan for each category. “Plan vs lived” shows the promises you kept and the ones within reach.

  5. Choose

    When you can see the hours, it is easier to spend them on what matters to you.

How much work is it?

A receipt takes a photo and a tap to confirm. There is nothing to import or set up before you start, and you can add as much or as little as you like.
