Creating expenses

Logging an expense in TumelLife takes a few seconds. You give it a name, an amount and a currency, and it is saved to whichever workspace you have open.

Adding an expense

  1. Tap Money in the bottom navigation, then choose the Expenses tab.
  2. Tap + Add at the top of the screen.
  3. Fill in the form (see the fields below).
  4. Tap Save.

Your new expense appears in the list straight away, and the totals at the top update to include it.

The fields

Expense name. A short label for what the money went on, such as Grocery run or Transport.

Amount. The amount spent. You can include decimals, for example 12.50.

Currency. The currency for this expense. It starts from your default currency, and you can change it per expense if you spent in something else.

Date. The day of the expense. It defaults to today, and you can set it to a past date if you are catching up on something older.

Priority. An optional low, medium or high marker, if you find it useful to flag certain expenses.

Note. An optional short note, for example a category or a little more detail.

Where the expense is saved

An expense is saved to the workspace you have open when you add it. If you are in your personal My Life workspace, it stays private to you. If you are in a shared workspace, everyone in that workspace can see it. So before adding an expense, it is worth checking which workspace is showing at the top of the screen.

Editing or removing an expense

Go to Money, open the Expenses tab and find the expense in the list. From there you can edit its details or delete it. Deleting an expense also updates the totals.

Common questions

Can I log expenses in different currencies? Yes. Each expense keeps its own currency, and TumelLife totals each currency separately rather than converting between them.

Can I add an expense for a past date? Yes. Change the Date field to whenever the expense actually happened.
