Minimum balance
The Minimum Balance represents the lowest amount you want to keep in your maintenance fund account at any time.
It helps you visualise a safe financial buffer and plan your cash flow accordingly.
How it works
Currently, this setting does not affect calculations or prevent spending below the amount set.
-
The value is displayed on the cashflow chart to show the minimum threshold alongside your projected fund balance.
-
This allows you to quickly see if your planned maintenance and other expenditures might bring the fund close to or below this level.
Example:
-
Minimum balance: $10,000
-
Projected closing balance: $12,000
-
Cashflow chart shows the $10,000 line as a reference, so you can see there’s still a safe buffer.
Future functionality
In future releases, the Minimum Balance setting will be used to actively prevent the fund from going below the set amount, helping you maintain a safer financial position automatically.
Summary
-
Minimum balance is a reference point to visualise a safe fund level.
-
Currently, it only appears on the cashflow chart.
-
Future updates will allow the system to enforce the minimum balance, ensuring the fund never drops below this level.
