Savings goals
A goal in Finvot is a planned savings target for something you want — a trip, a car, studies, an emergency fund. You set a target amount and, optionally, a deadline; Finvot tracks your progress, how much is left, and how much you should contribute each month to get there on time.
The best part: you contribute by marking your real expenses as a contribution to the goal, so the saving you already do shows up on its own.
Create a goal
Go to Profile → Goals and tap New goal
Pick the currency and type the target amount
Give it a name, and optionally a deadline
Pick an icon and a color, and save
The deadline is optional, but it helps
If you add a deadline, Finvot shows the days remaining and suggests a monthly contribution to get there on time. Without a deadline, the goal still works like a piggy bank with no due date.
Contribute from an expense
In Finvot a contribution is an expense transaction you mark as a contribution to the goal. No need to log your saving twice: you use the transaction you already have.
Open the expense you want to count as saving
In the detail, tap the Goal contribution option
Choose the goal you want to contribute to
A goal's saved amount is the sum of the expenses you linked to it. To remove a contribution, open the same expense and choose None.
Track your progress
Each goal shows at a glance:
- Progress % — how far along you are toward your target.
- Saved / target — the accumulated amount against the goal.
- Days remaining — how long until the deadline (if you set one).
- Suggested monthly contribution — how much to put in per month to arrive on time.
Above the list, a summary card adds up the total saved across all your goals. When a goal reaches 100%, it's marked as completed 🎉.
Good to know
- Contributions still count as spending: marking an expense as a contribution doesn't remove it from your budget or reports — it just tags it to the goal.
- Personal expenses only: you can contribute from personal expenses (not income, transfers, or shared couple expenses).
- Personal goals: for now goals are individual, not shared with a partner.
- No deadline: the goal works the same, you just won't see days remaining or a suggested monthly contribution.
- Multi-currency: each goal lives in a single currency; contributions add up in that currency.
- Deleting: deleting a goal does not delete the linked transactions — it only unlinks the contribution.
