# Reports ## What are reports? Reports are meant to show you patterns in your spending (and then if something looks off, you can make a change!)

## Monthly Spend vs Budget This report shows you how much money you've currently spent and then a line that shows your current budget (spread out evenly over the month) This is helpful for you to quickly see if you are on track to stay within your budget. In the example below, the user had a huge emergency expense at the start of the month that put them super out of budget almost immediately.

## This month vs Last month A chart that shows you what you spent last month (gray line) and what you've currently spent this month (purple line)

## Monthly spend (last 7 months) A bar chart that shows your spending over the last 7 months. Great to see if anything has changed in your spending habits over a longer period of time.

## Interacting with charts {% hint style="info" %} At the moment, charts cannot be interacted with but that's coming soon! You'll be able to drill down into the details and analyze patterns in your spending {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
