How It Works

Your Budget. Your Rules.

A two-form system that gives complete visibility over household spending. First define what each category is allowed to spend per month. Then log every expense — NavForms validates it against the budget in real time before allowing submission.

1
Budget Register
Set your monthly spending limit per category

Before tracking expenses, define how much your household should spend in each category every month. The Budget Register is a simple form — pick a category, enter the limit, and save. These limits drive all validation in the Expense Register. Add new categories any time without rebuilding the system.

  • Category — Rent, Grocery, Dewa, Internet, Kids School, Kids Extra, Restaurant, Emergency, Others — or any custom category you define
  • Monthly Budget Limit (₹ / AED) — maximum allowed spend for the month
  • Period — monthly, weekly, or yearly limit options
  • Notes — optional notes per category for context
  • Effective From — date from which the budget applies
  • Add unlimited categories — the Expense Register dropdown updates automatically

Expense Register
Log every expense — validated against your monthly budget

Each time money is spent, open the Expense Register. Select the category, enter the amount, and hit Submit. NavForms instantly checks whether the total spend for that category this month is still within the budget limit you set. If it is — the entry is saved. If it exceeds — submission is blocked and a clear warning is shown. The rule is set by you in plain language. No code, no formulas.

  • Date — auto-set to today; fully editable for back-dating
  • Category — dropdown populated from Budget Register
  • Amount — the expense amount in your currency
  • Remarks — free text note for each entry
  • Budget Validation — NavForms AI checks total monthly spend vs. limit before allowing submission
  • Blocked on Overspend — submission rejected with a clear alert if limit is exceeded
  • Customisable rules — set warnings at 80%, hard blocks at 100%, or any threshold you choose — in plain English
