Current Balance 

The current balance is the amount that represents what you may have in your account right now.

This value is obtained using the following math:

Current balance = Opening balance of your accounts + (Incomes Received  -  Paid Expenses)

Accounts balance

The 'Account balance' is the amount that represents what you should have in all your accounts together right now. You can find this value on the main screen or by accessing the 'Accounts' screen.

This value is calculated using the following formula:

Accounts balance  = Initial balance of Accounts + (Receiveds income  - Paid expenses) 

 Attention 

Mobills does not work like an Excel spreadsheet. It adds the final balance (of previous month) and the current balance (of the month in question), automatically.

Final monthly balance 

The final monthly balance is the amount that represents what you must have at the end of the next few months or the month in question according to your recorded entries. You can find this value in several places at Mobills.

The final monthly balance is calculated using the following formula:

Final monthly balance = Current balance + (Receitas Pendentes -  Despesas Pendentes)

 Observação 

If you have any pending entries in the months prior to the current date or you have posted entries in the months ahead of the current date, the Final Monthly Balance will take this information into account!

 

Daily Balance

The Daily Balance considers the amount of your balance until a certain day of the month. However, if these incomes and expenses are not received or paid on the day, the calculation will be performed only taking into account the transactions paid or received after the day has passed.
