# Zero-Based budget calculator

Assign every bit of income to categories until the remainder hits zero, with category bars, overs and unders called out, and a CSV export.

Enter your income and assign it to categories.

Zero-based budgeting gives every unit of income exactly one job: assigned plus left over must equal income, so the meter reads zero only when the plan is complete. An overcommitted plan shows a negative leftover, and trimming a category or adding income brings the meter back to zero.
