Starting amount example

Maria links House Fund ($12,000 in the account). Only $8,000 is earmarked for the house. She sets starting amount to $8,000. Progress toward her $50,000 target counts from $8,000.

Savings-capacity note

If your monthly savings targets across goals exceed what your budget allocates to Savings, the review step may show an informational note. You can still create the goal.

  • Headline shows dollars saved toward target and amount remaining.
  • Progress bar reflects percent complete.
  • Goal detail shows evaluation history over time.
