How do I change my payment information?2024-05-14T01:12:48-04:00

This change needs to be made at Verifone, our payment processor.

  1. Log in at https://secure.2co.com/myaccount/ and use the email and password you set up when first subscribing. If you’ve forgotten, use the Forgot your password link.
  2. After logging in, click the “Payment Methods” link at the top menu to change your payment information.
How do I change the budget amounts that are used in the category sidebar?2019-07-01T17:45:07-04:00
Go into Setup -> Category Setup (or click the Category Setup icon at the top of the category list or use the Setup menu). In the Category Setup, enter numbers as monthly budgets. You can set budgets for the specific month you are browsing, or set normal budgets for that category.

If a budget for a specific month is set, it will override the default budget entry. Once you enter these values and save the Category Setup, the figures on the category sidebar will automatically update, which are the difference between your actual spending and your budget plan.

Note: If you leave a category budget blank, it defaults to $0, and thus the sidebar figures are simply a negative total of all of your spending ($0.00 – actual spending = result).

How can I switch from monthly to yearly?2020-02-10T17:53:32-05:00

To switch to a yearly payment, log in and use the toolbar to select the rightmost icon -> Membership Payment. Then click the Upgrade To Yearly button.

My categories don’t show up in the category drop down when creating/editing an entry2019-07-01T17:43:47-04:00

CalendarBudget supports multiple currencies which are set both on Accounts and Categories. If there is a mismatch, (ie, the currency symbol on your categories is “$”, but your account is changed to be “€”, when creating/editing an entry in that account, categories with currency “$” will not show up since you cannot mix $ and €.

To fix this, make sure your account currency (Setup -> Account Setup) and your categories (Setup -> Category Setup) match where you expect them to.
What are the numbers beside the categories in the sidebar?2019-07-01T17:43:22-04:00

Category budgetsThose numbers are the difference between your actual spending in that category versus what you budgeted for that category.

For example, in expense categories, if you budgeted to spend $400 and spend $450, the number would be($50), meaning you have overspent on your budget in this category by $50. In income categories, if you budgeted to obtain $2000 and only got $1900, the number would be ($100), meaning you have not reached your budget goal by $100.

Does CalendarBudget connect to my bank account?2023-07-27T13:56:43-04:00

The Basic version of CalendarBudget does not. While CalendarBudget contains data about your finances, that data gets into CalendarBudget either by manually entering it into CalendarBudget, or by importing transactions that you’ve exported from your online bank account.

So, while CalendarBudget should match your bank account balances, it does not actually connect to your bank account, and you will never be asked for any banking information. We chose to take this approach to maximize your security and allow you to maintain the security policy with your bank, thus not putting your hard-earned money at risk.
For CalendarBudget Premium, it does connect to your bank account, but only to read your account transaction to assist with importing things automatically and make keeping your budget plan up to date. We do this through a secure 3rd party bank data aggregator. This is currently only available in USA & Canada.

If you are still experiencing problems, let us know and we’ll make sure to get you up and running as soon as possible.
