Getting Started

Get Started with Dollaroodle

Use this when you are new and want a practical first-day setup.

Steps

How to do it

A

Open your account and first household

Log in, then confirm your household name so the workspace is ready.

B

Add one income, taxes on that income, and your core expenses

Start with the largest monthly numbers so surplus reflects reality quickly. Put expected tax next to each income.

C

Add at least one savings goal

Set a target amount and a monthly contribution or target date.

D

Review the dashboard, surplus, and money-flow Sankey

Use the dashboard cards to confirm income, taxes, outflow, leftover surplus, and the money-flow Sankey.

E

Keep the Monthly Plan current

Revisit income, expenses, and goals on a regular rhythm as life changes.

Tips

Start simple

You can refine categories later. The first win is capturing the full monthly picture.

Keep one source of truth

Keep the plan in Dollaroodle. Splitting numbers across multiple trackers usually drifts.
