How it works

Forecast your checking balance in five simple steps.

No spreadsheets, no jargon. Balance On Hand uses the income and bills you already know about to project where your account is heading next.

  1. Add your income

    Enter the paychecks and other deposits you expect — weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or one-off. Balance On Hand uses this to know when money is coming in.

  2. Add your bills

    List the bills you pay on a regular schedule — rent or mortgage, utilities, insurance, loan payments, subscriptions. Set the amount and due date for each one.

  3. Add recurring expenses

    Include the steady spending that isn't strictly a "bill" — gas, groceries, transit, regular savings transfers — so the picture reflects your real cash flow.

  4. See your projected balance

    Balance On Hand combines what's coming in and what's going out to project your future checking balance, day by day, so you can spot tight spots ahead of time.

  5. Adjust your actual balance any time

    When something changes — a charge clears, a deposit arrives, or a bill amount is different — update your actual balance and the forecast recalculates instantly.
