How do I build a budget tracker in Python?

This Reflex template gives you income, expenses, savings, categories, and goal progress on one dashboard, with a transaction table underneath. Everything is Python, so adding a category rule or changing how a month is summarized is a code edit rather than a spreadsheet formula.

Can I import my bank transactions from a CSV?

Yes. The template includes CSV import and export, so you can pull a statement export from your bank, map the columns to the transaction model, and review it in the app. Teams wanting automatic feeds usually add Plaid and write its transactions into the same table.

What is a good self-hosted alternative to Mint or YNAB?

If you want your financial data to stay on infrastructure you control, building on this template keeps every transaction in your own database. You give up automatic bank sync until you add it yourself, and gain full control over categories, rules, and retention.

How do I compare budget versus actual spending by category?

Budget-versus-actual charts run monthly, quarterly, and annually off the same records as the transaction table, and category filters plus overspending alerts highlight where a budget broke. Adjusting a budget figure updates the comparison and the alerts together.
