Most budgeting apps track your spending against a fixed monthly limit. Repikue works differently: your daily budget recalculates after every expense you log.
The formula
At any point in your period, the daily budget is: (money left) ÷ (days remaining). "Money left" is your total budget minus everything you've already spent. "Days remaining" includes today.
So if you spend more than your daily budget today, tomorrow's number gets slightly smaller. If you spend less, tomorrow's number gets slightly larger. The math always adds up.
Why this works better than a static limit
A static monthly limit doesn't tell you whether you're on track — it just tells you how much total money you've used. The self-correcting daily number tells you exactly how much you can spend today to end the period on target.
One expensive weekend doesn't break the budget. It just tightens the remaining days slightly and adjusts automatically. No intervention required.
This is why logging expenses quickly matters. The sooner you record a purchase, the sooner your daily budget reflects reality — and the better your remaining decisions will be.
- Log expenses as they happen, not in batches at end of day
- Check your daily number in the morning to set your spending intention
- A day where you spend €0 adds that amount back across all remaining days
