Bill calendar

See upcoming bills and income for the next two weeks.

The Bill calendar shows upcoming recurring bills and income — not a history of what you already spent. It helps you plan: What is due this week? Will I have enough?

Where to find it

LocationHow to open
Reports tabOpen Reports → tap the Bills tab at the top
Direct link (web)Some bookmarks may open /calendar — same bill calendar view

There is no separate “spending by day” heatmap calendar. To review past spending on a specific date, use Transactions with a Custom range filter.

What it shows

The bill calendar looks 14 days ahead from today. For each day you may see:

  • Bills due — from your scheduled entries
  • Expected income — scheduled income entries
  • Daily totals — projected money in, money out, and net for that day

Days with activity are grouped so you can scan the next two weeks at a glance.

Empty calendar?

If nothing appears:

  1. You may not have scheduled entries yet.
  2. Open Settings → Money → Scheduled entries and add recurring bills (rent, subscriptions, salary, etc.).
  3. Return to Reports → Bills — entries should appear on their due dates.

How scheduled entries become transactions

Recurring schedules create real transactions while you use the app — for example, when you open Expense Trail on or after the due date. They do not post silently if the app has been closed for a long time.

For reliable bill reminders even when the app is closed, turn on Scheduled & bills alerts under Settings → Alerts and allow notifications on your phone.

Example workflow

  1. Add a Monthly scheduled entry for “Rent” on the 1st.
  2. Open Reports → Bills mid-month — see rent on the next 1st.
  3. Enable bill alerts to get a reminder the day before or on the due date.
  4. When the due date arrives and you open the app, the rent transaction is created automatically.

Edit or remove a scheduled bill

  1. Settings → Money → Scheduled entries
  2. Tap the entry to edit amount, date, frequency, or category
  3. Toggle Active off to pause without deleting
  4. Delete if you no longer need it

Wallet and currency

Scheduled entries use the wallet and payment method you chose when creating them. Multi-currency wallets show amounts in that wallet’s currency.
