Program Description:

BudgetMaster™ is a simple to use budgeting program for Palm Powered handheld devices. First create budget categories specifying a description and budget amount for each category. You can create as many budget categories as required. Optionally, you may enter your income which is used as a reference point as you create your budget and enter spending.

For each budget category, enter spending which reduces the amount left in the category. A detailed note can be entered for each amount spent. For each category, the program will keep a running total of the amount spent to date, and the amount remaining.

The program also has a summary screen of the complete budget plan, listing each category, the amount spent and remaining in each. At the bottom of this screen is shown the total budget amount, total amount spent to date, and total amount remaining in the budget.

The amount budgeted to each category can be changed at any time which will be immediately reflected on the budget summary screen. When it is time to begin a new budget period, all budgets can be reset to their initial amounts to begin spending against them again.

A bill reminder lets you know in advance when a bill is coming due. You determine how many days in advance to be reminded. The "Pay Bills" screen allows the user to pay bills that have been defined as part of the budget plan. Using the charting features, see where your money is going visually.

The reports allow the user to keep a permanent record of each spending period. All reports include full details including the category, amount spent, date spent, payment source, reference number, and notes. In addition to text format, the reports also provide the ability to export the spending details to either a comma-seperated values (.CSV) file which can be imported into Microsoft Excel or a HTML web-browser file which can then be viewed using any Internet browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Please Note: The trial version is fully-functional and provides non-color or color support, but is limited to thirty times using the program, a maximum of ten spending/bill transactions, and does not allow the Memo-based reports to be generated.

Requirements: Palm OS-compatible device using Palm OS version 3.5 or higher and 400K of free system area RAM.

BudgetMaster Reporter™ is an optional software product for Microsoft Windows computers.  Using this software, you are able to produce professional reports using the BudgetMaster™ data on your handheld.  This program retrieves data from the handheld device during the HotSync session and allows reports to then be produced off-line (without the need of the handheld).
