Costs Calculator

Record your daily spend and see the average over a number of days.

Form

  • Currency: Optional. The app supports a limited number of currencies, represented by symbols. However, any decimal-based currency is compatible.
  • Date: Required. An accurate average over a period requires an entry for every day of that period.
  • Item(s): Required. This field cannot be left blank, but the form can be submitted without changing the default value 'Shopping'.
  • Amount: Required. If nothing is spent on a day, leave it as '0 - 0'.

Daily Spend

The 'Reorder entries?' button next to the 'Date' heading is disabled until 2 or more entries have been made. Its function is to sort the entries in ascending order if the date sequence gets out of sync. This might occur if a day is missed and added later or if an earlier entry is deleted due to inaccuracy and needs re-insertion.

'Expand / Contract table' button

This button is disabled until 8 entries have been made. Clicking 'Expand table' will remove vertical scrollbars and display all entries; clicking 'Contract table' will reinstate scrollbars. Note: this behaviour is not saved.

'Delete all entries' button

This button is disabled until 1 entry has been made. Clicking it will launch a 'confirm' dialog. If 'yes' is clicked, local storage for the following will be erased:

  • Entries for all dates in the 'Daily Spend' table.
  • The 'Reorder entries?' button state value.

Note: Local storage will be cleared for only this specific pair of keys in the app; local storage for other apps will not be affected.
