Build an Expense Tracking Dashboard
Create a simple yet powerful dashboard where users can log daily expenses, categorize spending, set budgets, and view visual breakdowns of their financial habits.Managing personal or business expenses is crucial for financial health. Building an expense tracker helps you learn form handling, CRUD operations, category management, data visualization, and budget alerts — highly relevant for finance-focused apps.
Allow users to record daily expenses, group them by categories like food, transport, shopping, set monthly spending limits, track spending patterns, and visualize budget usage through dynamic charts.
Daily Expense Logging
Allow users to quickly add expenses with amount, category, date, and description fields.
Expense Categories and Budget Limits
Create categories like Food, Travel, Entertainment, and set monthly limits to monitor overspending.
Expense Visualization with Charts
Display monthly spending, category-wise distribution, and budget vs actual spend comparisons through charts.
Budget Alerts and Notifications
Send alerts when spending approaches or exceeds predefined category budgets.
Users log their daily expenses categorized by type. The system tracks monthly budgets, visualizes where money is going, and provides alerts when a user is close to exceeding set limits.
- Users input expense details into a form (amount, category, date, description).
- Expenses are grouped monthly and categorized for easy tracking.
- Charts display monthly spending habits, top categories, and budget adherence trends.
- Optional: Export expense reports in CSV format for offline analysis.
- Optional: Add dark mode for better user experience.
