Predict your surplus at the start of the month

We calculate your remaining funds after covering essential expenses such as bills, subscriptions, categories, goals, and debt payments. Adjust your budget as necessary throughout the month.

Link your bank accounts and credit cards

Remember to link your bank accounts and credit cards so that PocketGuard will be able to identify your cash flow in a single location.

View your bills and subscriptions

Now that your accounts have been successfully linked, PocketGuard will automatically identify your bills and subscriptions, which will be included in your surplus budget.

Budget as you want

Feel free to allocate every dollar using zero-based budgeting or follow envelope budgeting.

Spend less than you earn

Our calculations are based on your estimated income and update once you get actual paychecks.

Adjust your budget

You can always free some money to cover unbalanced expenses in your categories or hide specific expenses.

Check your Leftover before you spend

Your Leftover is visible on the Dashboard and in the Plan tab — open it anytime to see exactly how much is safely available after all your bills, budgets, goals, and debt payments are accounted for.

Fully automatic

Your leftover number updates automatically as long as you spend or plan for upcoming payments. No spreadsheets, no mental math.

Recurring predictions

Once we define your bills and subscriptions, we predict them in your leftover for the current month.

Know before you overspend

If you overspend in a certain category or pay more for the bill, your leftover amount turns negative — so you can course-correct before it hits your bank account.

I used to guess whether I could afford to go out for dinner. Now I just check my Leftover number and the answer is right there. No math, no stress.

Karen M.

I get paid inconsistently as a freelancer, so knowing my real leftover after goals and debt payments — not just my bank balance — completely changed how I manage money.

Julia S.

It sounds simple but having one number that says 'this is what you can actually spend' is all I ever needed.

Leftover Money FAQ

How do you calculate your disposable income?

Using the formula: Income - Expenses - Goals, PocketGuard automatically calculates your disposable income. It monitors virtually all of your bills, budgets, and savings objectives — then displays the money you have left over to actually spend without derailing.

How much disposable income should you have per month?

There's no universal number — it depends on your income and expenses. A healthy disposable budget typically leaves 10–20% of monthly income as a budget surplus after necessities. PocketGuard helps you predict and track that figure in real time.

What's the difference between Leftover and a regular budget category?

A budget category tracks spending in one area, like groceries or transport. Leftover shows your total money left after bills, all budget categories, and savings goals are accounted for — it's your full disposable income picture, not just one slice of it.

Does Leftover work across multiple banks and credit cards at once?

Yes. Connect all your checking and credit accounts, and PocketGuard consolidates everything to calculate your Leftover accurately. Transfers between accounts are excluded automatically to avoid double-counting your available balance.

How often does the Leftover Money feature update the information?

Leftover updates in real time as new transactions come in and resets at the start of each month. This means you always have a current view of your money left after bills — no manual refreshing needed.
