A category option for tithe would be great. Where through out the month it tracks 10% or how ever much you need and puts it in a category or budget so you know how much you owe in tithe
Great news, this is live! You can now set any budget category as a percentage of your income, and it works exactly the way you described:
On the Budget page, add an allocation (or edit an existing one) and pick your Tithe category
Under the amount, tap "or set a % of income"
Type whatever you need and you'll see the dollar amount it works out to right away
A few details we made sure of:
If you're paid bi-weekly, set the frequency to bi-weekly and it calculates 10% of each paycheque instead of the monthly total
The category then tracks your spending against that target all month, so you always know how much you owe vs how much you've given
One honest note: this uses the income you've set in Waypoint Budget, so it's available for fixed income right now. If your income is set to variable we've held the option back for the moment, because we'd rather build the version that tracks a percentage of what you actually receive as it comes in than show you a number based on a guess. That's on our list.
Let us know how it works for your tithing, and thanks for the great request!

I think something similar already exists in rollover but not in fixed.

Hi Olu, thanks for answering this, if it’s a rollover category you can already choose percentage of income under advanced options :)
