How to Set Up Recurring Transactions in Moneybag (Step-by-Step)

24 May 20265 min read

Manually adding the same ৳15,000 rent entry on the 1st of every month is the kind of repetitive task that kills good budgeting habits. Moneybag's recurring rules automate it. Once set, the transaction appears on schedule without any tap from you.

What you can automate

  • Salary income
  • Rent / mortgage
  • EMIs (loan, credit card)
  • Insurance premiums
  • Subscriptions (OTT, gym, gas)
  • School fees
  • Quarterly DPS deposits

Step-by-step

  1. Open Moneybag → Transactions tab → tap the Add (+) button.
  2. Enter amount, category, wallet as usual.
  3. Before saving, toggle Recurring.
  4. Pick frequency: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly.
  5. Pick the start date (e.g. 1st of next month).
  6. Optionally set an end date (e.g. when an EMI finishes).
  7. Save. Done — Moneybag will create the entry on schedule.

Editing or pausing a recurring rule

Tap any future occurrence → Edit → adjust the rule. Pause by toggling off; delete by tapping Delete. Past entries stay intact.

Smart use-cases

  • Auto-savings: Set a recurring transfer from Salary wallet → Emergency Fund wallet every 5th of the month.
  • Variable subscriptions: If your OTT price changes seasonally, set the rule to a placeholder ৳400 and edit when invoices change.
  • Loan amortization: Set EMI as recurring with an end date matching the final payment.
Do recurring entries sync across devices?+

Yes — they live in Firestore and sync everywhere you're signed in.

What if I'm offline on the schedule date?+

Moneybag queues the creation and processes it as soon as you reopen the app or come back online.

Can I have variable-amount recurrings?+

Pick a placeholder amount; edit each occurrence as it lands. Auto-detected variable amounts are on the roadmap.
