Budget Manager

A personal budget manager desktop app. It lets you add and delete transactions, categorise them, and view a running balance, storing everything in a local SQLite database.

Example

  1. Run python main.py. The "Personal Budget Manager" window opens with fields for Date, Description, Amount ($), and Category, plus a transaction list and a balance display showing Current Balance: $0.00.
  2. Fill in the fields — e.g. Date: 2024-01-15, Description: Salary, Amount: 3000, Category: Income — then click Add Transaction. A confirmation dialog appears and the new entry is shown in the list.
  3. Add an expense: Date: 2024-01-16, Description: Groceries, Amount: -120, Category: Food. The balance label updates to reflect the running total.
  4. Click a transaction in the list to select it, then click Delete Transaction to remove it. The balance recalculates immediately.
