Why is Budget Category Showing as "RED" When Actual Expenses are less than Budget?

pklocke

I have a budget Category called Computer - SW - HW - Subscriptions that I am currently under budget for, for the month and year. Yet (see attached image), even though it is showing $228 "left", it is showing it as "RED" vs "GREEN. It should be green as I am not over budget. You can see in the two sub-categories I have spent $146, so how can it be RED with $228 left in the budget (these categories roll-over).

Double check that you havn't accidently categorized a transaction in the parent category. This is something that would cause what you are seeing. In categories with sub categories there should never be transactions assigned to the parent category.
