What you'll do

Insights shows where the money comes from and where it goes, over 1, 3, 12 or 24 months, or everything you have. Two rings open the page, then the Money map, then a box each for where the money comes from, your recurring bills and your spending lines. Its figures agree with Cash Flow for the same months, and every band, bar and line opens the rows behind it.

  1. Pick a range

    Open Insights and pick a range: 1, 3, 12 or 24 months, or All. Two rings open the page: Money in, by income line, with the total in the middle, and Where the money went, with what you kept and its share of the money in.

    The top of Insights over 12 months: the 1m, 3m, 12m, 24m and All range buttons, and the two rings, Money in ($170,697, by earned income line) and Where the money went ($117,311 money out, Kept $53,386, 31% of money in).

  2. Read the Money map

    Below the rings, the Money map follows every dollar from income, through the household, to what you kept, your recurring bills and your spending lines. Hover a band or a line to light its path and see its total.

  4. Group your income
