Are you going out this summer? With these apps you keep track of your holiday budget, so that you are not faced with surprises at the end of your holiday.
6 budget apps for vacation
On vacation you often spend a little more money than usual. That’s not bad at all, because you probably saved up for it. However, spending on vacation can sometimes go a bit faster than you think. It is therefore wise to keep track of your expenses, to ensure that you stay within budget. These apps make it very easy for you to keep track of your expenses.
1. Spend
Spendee is a handy app on vacation. The app instantly calculates the currency of the country where you are. For example, if you go to Turkey, you can enter both euros and Turkish lira. The app immediately shows how much the amount is in euros, or vice versa. In the app you set a budget, which you can call ‘Holiday’ for example. Here you enter the maximum amount you want to spend on your trip.
Spendee then helps you stick to it by showing you how close you are getting to the budget. You can repeat the budget, or set it once. A one-off is a handy option for a holiday. When you spend something and enter it into the app, Spendee automatically deducts it from your budget. That way you always know where you stand.
2. 22seven: Budget, track & save
With 22seven you can easily set goals, for example for the holidays. First of all, the app shows you an overview of all your accounts. If you have set a budget, you will receive a notification when you have almost reached your budget.
You can also save in advance with the app for some pocket money on vacation. 22seven will then give you suggestions on how to save money, so that you have more left over for your vacation. In addition, the app shows you what you can spend per day with your specified budget.
3. Next
With Next, entering expenses is done in no time. You select an icon of a category and enter the amount. At that point, it is immediately saved as an expense. Thanks to the iCloud synchronization and iPad and Mac app, you have Next at hand everywhere.
To make it even easier for yourself, you can put the categories on the home screen that you use the most. By swiping left or right you can see an overview of all your expenses, as well as see graphs of what you have spent so far. This way you can immediately see if you have crossed the line somewhere.
4. Buddy
Buddy focuses on sticking to a budget. It will take some time to fill everything in, but once you have done that you can get started. Because you can fill in everything so completely, keeping a budget is also easier.
To add a new issue while on vacation, all you have to do is press the plus sign. Enter a category below the amount, and optionally a note. During the holidays you can see exactly what you have spent the most money on, and how much you have left. The app has many more features, but for that you have to take out a paid subscription for $ 4.99 per month or $ 34.99 per year.
5. Pennies: Budget and Expenses
Pennies should not be missing when it comes to apps for your holiday budget. The interface is intuitive and simple, allowing you to quickly understand how everything works. You don’t need more from a budget app. The integration with the Apple Watch is also a plus. In Pennies you can easily set a budget, which you can repeat or set once.
By synchronizing with iCloud you can check how much you have left to spend at any time and on any device. When you add Pennies to your message center, you will see a daily overview of your expenses here. By tapping on it you immediately open the app for a more extensive overview.
6. WhoPaysWhat
If you are going on holiday with friends from different households, WieBetaaltWat is the app for travelling. When you’re on vacation, you don’t feel like keeping track of every expense. With this app you don’t have to take that into account.
All holidaymakers can be added to the same group in the app via email. Everyone who has settled something puts their expenses in it. At the end of the holiday you press ‘Settle’ and you immediately see who has to pay what, and to whom this person has to pay. So you no longer have to worry about whether it is distributed fairly.
