Expense Tracker
Track daily expenses online. Categorize spending, view totals by category, and understand where your money goes.
About this tracker
Writing down what you spend is the single most reliable way to spend less. The Expense Tracker lets you log each purchase with a name, an amount and a category, and keeps a running total with a summary by category so you can see where the money goes.
It runs entirely in your browser, with no sign-up. Add an expense as soon as you make it, while you still remember the amount, and review the category totals at the end of the week. Food, transport and entertainment are usually where the surprises are.
How to use it
- Type a short description of the expense.
- Enter the amount.
- Choose a category: food, transport, housing, utilities, entertainment, healthcare, shopping, education or others.
- Press + Add. The list, the total and the category summary update.
How the totals work
The tracker adds every entry for the running total and groups entries by category to show each category's total and its share of spending: Category share = Category total ÷ Overall total × 100.
Worked example
A day of spending
| Lunch (Food) | ₹250 |
| Auto fare (Transport) | ₹120 |
| Movie ticket (Entertainment) | ₹350 |
| Total | ₹720 |
| Food share | 34.7% |
One small habit, such as a daily ₹250 lunch out, is ₹7,500 a month. Seeing it next to the other categories is what makes people cut back.
Tips and common mistakes
- Log expenses the moment they happen. A weekly catch-up misses small purchases.
- Use consistent categories so that month-to-month comparison is meaningful.
- Record cash and UPI spends equally. Cash is the one that goes missing from memory.
- Review totals weekly, and set a target for your top two categories.
- Export or copy the list into a spreadsheet if you want a longer history.
