Predictions are here
Notice the new tab on the right? The first tab shows you the standard view (add/list transactions). The second tab shows you stats (we changed its icon). The third tab, well... it shows you how much money you might have in the future!
We didn't just put this in for the sake of saying "CashBase does predictions". We put it in because we want to answer an important question that most of us ask (themselves): "How much money will I have by July?". Or November, or the end of the year. And CashBase attempts to tell you that, based on your spending habits. It works best if you've used it for a few months. It works really well if you've been using it since last year!
You're probably wondering about the slider at the bottom. The slider helps you play with the prediction like this: "If I only spend 8,560 as the maximum monthly amount, how much money will I have by July?". What this does is brutally cut costly months to a controllable amount. You now know that you need to manage with under $X, if you want to have $N by July.
We're still tweaking this, as it doesn't work as expected in all cases. We plan to let users leave out large, one-time expenses that they had, but won't have again in the future, and the prediction algorithm is considering.
As always, we're happy to find out what you think! :)
