Description
Where does all your money go? Exactly where you tell it to!
“We started YNAB January 1st with $37 saved and ended the year with $42,000. Plus we paid $14,000 cash for a new roof.”
-Kyle, YNAB user since 2020
If you’re like the average YNABer (just AVERAGE), you’ll save $600 in the first two months. And $6,000 in the first year. But you might experience something much more powerful than a growing bank account balance or paid off credit cards: 92% of YNABers report feeling less stressed since starting YNAB.
“YNAB has removed the stress of money from my life and in doing so has helped make me a better husband. It's like I got to remove a personal flaw I had never been able to fix."
-Kyle, again. We didn’t even pay him to say this, but maybe we should.
Every dollar represents you—it’s the product of your energy. You work too hard for all that to go to waste. We’ll show you how to give every dollar a job, so your paychecks are working toward your priorities and values, your wants and needs, your work and your play. Your money is your life. Spend it well with YNAB.

And—bonus!—when you create monthly targets, we’ll suggest amounts based on your average and previous-month spending. It’s easier than ever to build your optimal spending plan—no spreadsheet or second-guessing required.
But wait, there’s more! With this release, you can now choose which account header you’d like to see in your account view. Keep your working balance front and center, or see the full breakdown of your cleared, uncleared, and working balances in one place. Finally, we’ve added a calculator to the split transaction screen, saving you (let’s be real) a lot of time when entering your Target transactions.
Plan and spend—now with more clarity than ever!
Ratings and Reviews
By far the best app on my phone
I first used YNAB about 5 years ago as a desktop version with mobile sync via Dropbox. We did so well using it that we were able to save and pay cash for a garage conversion into an office, about 10k worth of work. Then for some reason we stopped using it which was the worse thing we could have done. Since then our spending got out of control, we regularly had more month left than we had cash, meaning the credit card bailed us out until the next pay day. Started using it again this month and already we are seeing a massive difference again.
This app is great for sorting you out and getting your priorities straight for your cash. Just this month alone we have put away 700 for a holiday at the end of the month, paid 500 towards paying off a loan, paid 300 towards a ski trip, put 200 into an emergency budget, put 500 towards Xmas and there is still money left over to meet our true expenses. In short, this app is just what you need to get your money sorted and get yourself into a great position where money is not a concern and causes you less stress.
Game Changer
I have never saved well, spending the later part of my life bouncing debt from one place to another, never with a financial comfort zone. YNAB has changed all that! I never knew how much background anxiety comes from financially living hand to mouth but by following the easy steps to the best of my abilities, initially - then rigorously once the money started gathering in my account. I have not only freed myself up financially, I am happier, able to grab far more life opportunities & live in the moment far more of the time, and that is where all the good stuff is!
I have just paid for a full ski holiday in Jan 2024 with money I have saved since 2020 (YNAB win)! and due to my diligence with my money I have also been able to purchase brand new ski ware to maximise my experience / enjoyment. And still my age of money is 200 days +. Anyone that stresses about parts of their life, check if the route is money management and if it is download this app and set yourself free.
Thanks all at YNAB
Developer Response ,
Thanks for your review! I love how you mention that you are able to grab more life opportunities because of the hard work you've put into your finances. Enjoy that ski trip \- what a win!! \- Aubrey @ YNAB
Life changing
I can't tell you how much YNAB has changed my life, but I'm going to try. It took me a while to get use to it but that's because I thought I knew how to budget. In the end I started again with a couple of hours of free time and the YNAB video tutorials and help pages to hand. I've learnt how to budget, I can see where I am saving and spending money. I am completely in control of my finances and it feels amazing. For the first time ever the fog of budgeting and finance control has cleared. If you are going to budget then commit to it and do it whole heartedly. I have tried other platforms such as ibank and this is completely different. First it looks like it's designed by a human with a sympathetic touch. Once you have worked out the process it is all so clear. Invest time into learning g how YNAB works and trust me your financial planing will be rewarded. I can't recommend it enough. I don't work for them or know the developers!!
