Forecasting
Know the low point before it happens.
The running balance forecast carries your account balance forward day by day, applying each planned transaction in order. That makes the important question visible: what is the lowest balance between now and the next paycheck?

Why it matters
You can spot overdraft risk, delayed breathing room, and safer payment timing earlier.
CalBudget is designed around the practical cash-flow problem, not just category totals. If moving one bill by three days protects your balance, the forecast should make that obvious.
