Navigate budgets across months

Chevrons walk months. "This month" returns to the present.

On this page

The Budgets page in Extrack has a month switcher near the top — left chevron "‹" (aria "Previous month"), the month name in the centre (e.g. "May 2026") and right chevron "›" (aria "Next month"), plus a "This month" shortcut button. Past months show what you spent vs the cap that applied; future months let you preview budgets that will repeat.

Steps

  1. Use the chevrons

    ‹ = previous month, › = next month. The centre shows the month label.

  2. Use "This month"

    A separate button returns to the current month immediately.

Frequently asked

Can I set different caps in different months?

Not from the UI today. Caps repeat across months at the same amount. (A repeating vs one-off-override mechanism exists in the data model but is not exposed in the Budgets UI yet.)

Can I look at last year?

Yes — keep tapping the ‹ chevron. Past months show the cap that applied with the actual spend.
