# What is the Budgeting section used for in Emma?

The Budgeting section helps you plan and track your spending over a set period.

You can:

* Create a budget for a weekly or monthly period
* Set budgets for specific categories, such as groceries or entertainment
* See how much you’ve spent and how much you have left

You can also view your committed spending. This is money you’ve already spent and cannot be reallocated to another category.

Emma also shows a daily allowance, which tells you how much you can spend each day to stay within your budget before the period ends.

This helps you stay in control and avoid overspending.
