How to Set Up Recurring Expenses and Income in Moneko

Recurring lets you automate expenses and income that happen regularly.

You do not need to remember or re-enter the same transaction every time. Set it once, and Moneko logs it automatically on schedule.

Why Use Recurring Expenses?

Recurring expenses help you stay on top of fixed spending. Use recurring expenses for payments that repeat, such as rent, utilities, and subscriptions.

This helps you:

• see how much money is already committed
• avoid forgetting regular payments
• understand how much you can still spend

Why Use Recurring Income?

Recurring income helps make your cash flow more predictable. Use recurring income for money that comes in regularly, such as salary, freelance income, or allowances.

When regular income is included, Moneko can give you a clearer view of your monthly money flow.
