Frequently asked questions

What is MonKey’s budget planner guide for?

It explains how to plan a budget, track spending, and use the dashboard and workspaces in MonKey — not a one-off spreadsheet, but a product guide for everyday money management.

How is expense tracking different from the free budget planner tool?

The free household budget planner at Tools helps you draft a plan in the browser. This guide covers MonKey’s in-app budget planner, expense tracking, and ongoing money management after you sign in.

Can I manage money across separate budget projects?

Yes. Workspaces let you keep separate budget and lifestyle projects in tabs so plans do not mix.
