Learn Committed Spending
Committed Spending shows your upcoming payments for the current period
Committed spending is used to calculate how much you have left to spend for the month and it is the payments Emma predicts will happen in your period for your budget. Committed Spending can be found in the Budgeting section of Emma Feed tab.
Your upcoming payments are sourced from Recurring payments section in your Feed tab.
You can view your Committed Spending by following these steps:
Go to the Feed tab
Scroll down and select your Budget (circle chart)
Select Committed Spending
An excluded upcoming payment is likely a credit card repayment or internal transfer. These should remain as excluded otherwise they'll throw off your analytics.
If you have an upcoming payment that should be excluded but isn't, you'll need to find all previous payments and categorise them as excluded.
If you have an upcoming payment that shouldn't be excluded but is, you will need to do the opposite to the above - find all previous payments and categorise them as something other than excluded.
You can find all previous payments by following these steps:
Go to the Feed tab
Select See all next to Recent Transactions
Select the search icon in the top right corner
If one of your upcoming payments is missing from your Committed Spending screen, it may not be marked as a recurring payment or the recurring payment is predicted to be paid outside your period.
If the upcoming payment isn't marked a recurring payment, it won't show up in Committed Spend. Follow these steps to manually add a recurring payment. Currently, you can only include recurring payments in Committed Spending.
Otherwise, if the upcoming payment is predicted to be paid outside of your current period, you can Follow these steps to Edit the Prediction.
If you still have an upcoming payment missing, reach out to us via chat and we'd be happy to help 🐻
