Categories

Categories help you classify your transactions and track spending by type.

Plutus comes with a set of default categories to get you started, including common ones like Groceries, Rent, Utilities, and Entertainment.

  1. Navigate to Categories in the sidebar
  2. Click Add Category
  3. Enter a name and optionally choose an icon and color
  4. Click Save

Categories can be organized into groups for better structure. For example, you might have a “Housing” group containing “Rent”, “Utilities”, and “Home Insurance” categories.

Click on any category to edit its name, icon, color, or group assignment. Changes apply to all existing transactions in that category.

If you need to consolidate categories, you can merge one category into another. All transactions from the source category will be reassigned to the target category.
