Add Rollover option for 12-month budgets

The QWIN budget tool has this option for years and was very helpful. I like over all I like the new budget tool in QMAC. But it is missing this key option to set a budget to rollover its surplus/deficit to the next month. PLEASE ADD to QMAC so I can stop use a spreadsheet for my 12-month budget.

    I believe you do have that in Quicken for MAC but I could be wrong because from reading this https://www.quicken.com/support/quicken-mac-12-month-budget-overview-and-getting-started   it sounds to me like it have that roll over ability. unless you can clarify further.

    This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled VOTE to add monthly budget rollover to Quicken for Mac!.


    The number one feature that keeps our family from migrating over to Quicken for Mac is the lack of monthly budget rollovers. We use this constantly to set monthly money aside for budgets that we use for large long term expenses like car tires and vehicle maintenance. It is also really nice if we over spent on groceries for one month, that the next month's budget reflects this so we know to try and spend less. This is a SUPER feature and absolutely critical to our budgeting. Please, if you can, vote for this feature on Quicken. For Mac, just click on "Quicken" next to the apple on the top left of the toolbar at the top of the screen and click "Provide Feedback". There you can free type a feature that you want to be added, just type "monthly budget rollover". They update features based on these community votes, so please vote and encourage others to vote as well.

    Thanks,
    Chris

    This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Quicken for mac 2019: Why can't I rollover budget categories for each month?.


    Windows users can rollover budget categories from month to month. Please allow Mac users to do the same! When purchasing this product it is not clear that Mac users are unable to do this and without this feature, the entire budget tool is not very useful at all.

    That link is just for Windows.

    Hello Amanda,

    Welcome to the Community!

    I have moved your post to the ongoing Idea thread to have this feature added to the Mac version.

    Unfortunately, the ability to rollover amounts in the budgets has not been created for the Mac version as of yet.

    Our developers review these Idea posts to get an idea of what people would like to see in the product, so please go to the top and vote on this idea.

    Thank you!

    Does any of the recent editions of Quicken for Mac have the ability to do account rollovers similar to what is available in the Quicken for Windows versions?

    When I ask about rollovers, I'm curious about a situation where I budget $100 dollars for category each month, but I only spend $80 dollars so the amount rolls over and we have $120 in that category the next month.

    The best I can tell is that editions up to Quicken for Mac 2018 didn't have this feature, but I'm wondering if anything beyond that does.
