Vaults

The purpose of vaults is to store your funds for any future expenses. Save up money for vacation, house renovation or start an emergency fund.

Vaults, same as categories, can be added to a budget. This means that you can attach a percent of income or flat amount every month, which will be added to your vault when creating a new budget (see budgets section for more information).
