How to add recurring expenses in TimelyBills?

Modified on Fri, 18 Oct at 2:43 PM

If you are looking to create future recurring expenses in the app. While we understand the need, currently the app is designed to handle recurring bills rather than recurring expenses. The reason behind this is that bills typically represent something that needs to be paid on a recurring basis in the future—like rent, subscriptions, or utility payments—whereas expenses are recorded when you actually make a payment.

Here's how it works:
  • When you create a recurring bill, it schedules the payment for future dates, and once you mark it as paid, the app automatically records it as an expense.
  • Moreover, the future bill is accounted for in your upcoming balance calculations, ensuring you can keep track of future obligations without recording them as expenses before they happen.
To manage your future obligations effectively, we recommend creating future bills in the app rather than expenses. These bills will be counted toward your future balance, helping you plan better. Once a bill is marked as paid, it will be added to your expense records at that time.
