How do I roll over my budget to the next month?

When you create a budget, you can choose to start each new month with the previous month's leftover amount.

For example, if you have a $75 fast food budget, but only spend $50 on fast food that month, your fast food budget will start at -$25 the next month. If you spent $100 on fast food in one month, the next month’s budget would start with $25 already spent.

Here’s how update your budget's roll over settings:

1. Sign in to mint.com. You can’t do this in the mobile app
2. Select Budgets from the side menu
3. Hover over the desired budget and select Edit
4. Check (or uncheck) the box next to Start each new month with the previous month's leftover amount
5. Select Save

Rollover budgets can't be retroactively set for previous months. For example, once December begins, you can't edit your budget to include your leftover amount from November.
