In the Reports Menu, the
Current Budget
shows Year-to-Date, with the budget of the current month prorated to today's date. This allows you to see how you're doing for this month, under budget, on target, over budget.
The
Historical Budget
doesn't prorate the current month and can be used to show this year with actual data from January to today and forecast the rest of the year, based on scheduled reminders as if they were actual transactions already.
Off the back of my head, that's the biggest differences I'm aware of. If I'm missing something, I'm quite sure that someone will chime in here and tell us.
