Your budget period determines the time window Pocket Clear uses to calculate your spending totals, budget limits, and reports. Think of it as the rhythm of your financial tracking — some people think in weeks, others in months.
Pocket Clear supports four budget periods: weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, and yearly. When you change your budget period, all totals on the Home screen, budget progress bars, and reports automatically recalculate to match the new timeframe.
Most users start with monthly since it aligns with salary cycles. If you get paid every two weeks or prefer tighter spending windows, weekly or bi-weekly can help you stay on top of things more frequently.
How to change your budget period
Open Pocket Clear and tap Settings (gear icon).
Tap Budget Period.
Select your preferred period: Weekly, Bi-weekly, Monthly, or Yearly.
Your Home screen totals and any active budgets will immediately update to reflect the new period.
Things to know
Changing budget period does not delete or modify any transactions — it only changes how totals are grouped.
If you have active budgets set up, their limits stay the same but the period they cover will change. You may want to adjust your budget amounts after switching.
Yearly tracks the full calendar year — January 1 to December 31. This is useful if you manage an annual allowance or want to see full-year totals at a glance.
Budget period is separate from view period, which controls the date range shown on your Home screen.
