Unlimited Budget Accounts

Lunch Money supports unlimited budget accounts per subscription!

You can create additional budgets to track different aspects of your life, collaborate with others and even use as a developer sandbox account! The possibilities, like your budgets, are limitless.

How do I create a new budget account?

On the web app, locate the teal circle to the left of the "Logout" button:

This will invoke the "Switch Accounts" pop-up wherein you can view all your budget accounts and create new ones. You will also find any pending invitations to collaborate on existing budgets here:

What are some use cases for creating multiple budget accounts?

Some users find it helpful to separate budget accounts by different aspects of their life. For example, you may have your own personal budget, a shared budget with a partner and a budget for your business.

Some developers may also find it useful to create a separate budget account as a developer sandbox account!

How does collaborating with others work?

Each budget account has one admin user whose paid subscription supports the budget account. Once this budget account is created, they can invite unlimited collaborators to this account.

A budget account is an isolated budget with its own transactions, accounts, categories, tags, etc, and its data cannot be accessed by another budget account.

A user who is only collaborating on other users' budget accounts does not need their own paid subscription. At any time, collaborators may create their own budget, thereby becoming an admin user and requiring a paid subscription. A collaborator who creates their first budget automatically receives a free 14-day trial.
