Track Your Savings with Funds

Saving money is a lot easier when you know exactly what it’s for. That’s where Funds come in.

Funds in Weekly help you set money aside for specific things — whether that’s an emergency buffer, an upcoming trip, or a big purchase you’re planning for. Instead of one big, vague savings balance, you get clear buckets with a purpose, all built directly into your budget.

What Are Funds?

Think of a Fund as a dedicated savings pot.

Each fund represents something you’re saving for, like:

  • Emergency Fund
  • Holidays
  • Car repairs
  • A new phone or laptop

Once you create a fund, Weekly automatically puts money into it each week. You don’t have to remember to transfer money or do any extra math — it just happens as part of your regular budget.

You can have as many funds as you like, and save toward multiple things at the same time.

Set Goals So You Know Where You’re Headed

Funds can also have Goals, so you’re not just saving — you’re working toward something specific.

With a goal, you can:

  • Set how much you want to save
  • Choose a date you’d like to reach it by (optional)
  • Let Weekly work out how much to save each week

It’s a simple way to give your savings a clear target, without locking you into something rigid.

See Your Progress Without Thinking About It

Once you’ve set a goal, Weekly keeps track of everything for you.

You’ll always be able to see:

  • How much you’ve saved so far
  • How close you are to your target
  • Whether you’re on track for your goal date

And if things change — which they often do — you can tweak your goal or contributions at any time. Weekly will automatically adjust the numbers so everything still makes sense.

All Your Savings, One Clear View

The Funds overview shows all your savings in one place:

  • Each fund and its balance
  • Weekly contributions
  • Progress toward goals
  • Your total savings across all funds

No spreadsheets, no guesswork — just a clear picture of where your money is sitting and what it’s meant for.

Spend From Your Funds When the Time Comes

When you’re ready to use the money you’ve saved, you can spend directly from a fund instead of from your Safe-to-Spend balance.

This helps keep your everyday spending accurate and makes it obvious when you’re using savings for their intended purpose. Every contribution and spend is tracked, so you can always see how a fund has changed over time.

Savings That Flex With Real Life

Funds are designed to fit real life — not the other way around.

You can:

  • Adjust or pause contributions
  • Change your goals
  • Use your savings when you need them

Whether you’re planning ahead or dealing with the unexpected, Funds help you stay in control without making budgeting feel complicated.

Start Saving With Purpose

Funds turn saving from something you hope you’re doing into something you can actually see and track. With automatic weekly contributions and clear goals, Weekly helps you save with intention — and feel confident about it.
