How do I setup / change budgets?

If you have NTS version 3.60 or before, please click this link to view instructions for your version.

At the top of the Checkbook screen, click on Setup and then Expense Acct List. You will enter your budgets for your expense accounts on this screen.

To change a budget, click on the budget amount in the list and then type in the new budget. Click on another budget amount you need to change or press Enter on your keyboard to save the changes. Press the Esc key if you want to cancel the changes.

Expense accounts are listed by Expense Category and group. The budgets for the categories and groups are automatically calculated by adding the budgets of all accounts within each category or group.

When deciding budget amounts, it is important to include all money that the church expects to spend during the course of the entire year. This may include money that you already have on hand and in your bank accounts. It is possible to may budget more money than you expect to receive through offerings. This is not unusual and to be expected if you have saved a large amount.
For more information see:
There is money left over from last year, that will be spent this year in addition to the money we will raise this year.
