Priority Funding

Put the commitments that matter most first when money is limited.

Priority Funding adds High, Normal, and Low priority to Expenses and Goals. Use it to express which commitments should receive money first when a payday cannot cover the whole plan.

How allocation works

Funding completes ordinary contributions before building extra Fund Ahead reserves.

Within each phase, it considers priority first, then the earliest due date. An Expense precedes a Goal when their priority and due date tie.

Priority	Use it for
High	Commitments you want considered first.
Normal	Your ordinary baseline.
Low	Commitments that can wait behind higher priorities.

These examples describe choices you make; the app does not decide your priorities for you.

When money runs short

A contribution can be partially funded. Review planned, funded, and unfunded amounts instead of assuming the entire target was covered.

Retries use the original saved funding plan. Changing a priority afterward does not silently rewrite that run’s allocation history.

Before saving

Choose the priority in the Expense or Goal editor. Priority changes the order when money is short; it does not change the scheduled contribution. Saving settings does not move money.
