Budgeting

Set it once. Stay on target.

Give each category a monthly amount and Zypper tracks what you’ve spent against it. Amounts carry forward, unspent money can roll over, and Zypper will even suggest budget amounts for you.

Start from your real numbers.

Our feature reads your last three months and proposes an amount for every category from what you actually earned and spent. It says what it will replace before it runs, and every number stays editable afterward.

Rollover & Flex

Built for lumpy months and shared spending.

Turn on rollover for a category and whatever you don’t spend carries into the next month, so the amount available grows until you use it. Mark categories as Flex and they draw from one shared amount while their transactions stay categorized.

What counts

Not every transaction should count.

Reimbursed work expenses, money moved between your own accounts, one-off oddities. Exclude a single transaction or a whole account from the budget, and transfers between your own accounts are handled for you.

Categories

Every category is yours to change.

Zypper starts you with a sensible default set. Give any category its own name, emoji, color and type, move it between groups, and archive the ones you no longer use. Changes flow through your budget, cash flow, filters and rules.
