Statistics
Which charts and evaluations Evensum offers for income, expenses, categories, and vehicle costs.
An overview instead of guesswork
The Statistics area brings together all data from your household — recurring costs, ledger entries, and vehicle costs — into clear charts. The goal is to show you at a glance where your money goes, without manually adding up numbers.
Income vs. expenses
A central chart compares your monthly income against your expenses. This immediately shows you:
- Whether a surplus or a deficit results at the end of the month
- How the ratio has developed over recent months
- Whether your planned savings contribution actually fits within the budget
Example: Income of €5,000 and expenses of €4,200 result in a monthly surplus of €800 — visible as the gap between two bars or lines in the chart.
Breakdown by category
Another chart breaks expenses down by category — Housing, Utilities, Insurance, Mobility, Groceries, Leisure, Subscriptions & Media, Health, Children, Pets, and any custom categories. This lets you see at a glance which area takes up the largest share of your budget, for example:
| Category | Share of monthly budget |
|---|---|
| Housing | 35% |
| Mobility | 15% |
| Groceries | 18% |
| Insurance | 10% |
| Other | 22% |
Trends over time
A trend view shows how individual categories or your overall budget have developed over several months or years. This is particularly helpful for spotting seasonal effects — such as higher heating costs in winter or more leisure spending in summer.
Vehicle costs
The vehicle section has its own dedicated evaluations that show fuel and charging costs separately — including the distinction between home and away charging for electric vehicles. This makes it possible to track how driving habits or price fluctuations at the pump affect total costs.
Buffer account progress
The statistics also show how your buffer account is developing relative to the recommended target amount — that is, whether your monthly transfers are on track to cover upcoming annual and quarterly costs on time.
In households with several members, the projection is stacked by member: each color shows who carries how much of the reserve, following the split rules of the underlying items. The projection starts at the recommended one-time initial funding, so the starting height is directly visible.
Adjusting time ranges
All history charts — variable costs, spending trend, vehicle costs, and energy costs — consistently show a 12-month window. The arrow buttons to the right of each chart's heading page back through older periods (and forward again) in 12-month steps; the visible range is shown right above the chart. Each chart pages independently, as far back as data has been recorded. This is especially useful for examining seasonal patterns or putting together a year-end review.
Practical tip
Check the category breakdown at least once a month. Small but frequent expenses in a category like "Subscriptions & Media" often go unnoticed day-to-day but can add up noticeably over several months.
