About this app

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.

Very good budgeting app for people who like to know exactly where their money is going, how much they spend each month, and want to save for meaningful goals. We used Mint for many years, which was pretty good. But this is much better. It's pretty easy to use once you learn the interface. There is definitely a learning curve, though. It's not the most intuitive.

This is my second time trying YNAB and I think I finally got it together. the app works pretty well I prefer working on the desktop though. the program is good for managing my money and budgeting seeing where all my dollars are going from my various checking accounts. I'm looking forward to seeing what a year's worth of data looks like.

Hey Eysana, love this! I have a similar story — it took a couple tries to really get YNAB and see how my many accounts could fit into a larger plan. Can't wait to hear what insights you learn over time! ~ Lauren @ YNAB

UPDATE: I want to love this app so much. It is perfect. However, throughout the years, the speediness of import is so frustrating. I have seen it update almost daily, to not seeing an update for multiple days. I have uninstalled, unlinked, relinked, reconciled everything. Adding transactions manually is not conducive to my lifestyle, plus I would use a MUCH cheaper app to monitor things manually if that is what I have to do.

HI Courtney, We can't always control the timing of imports- specifically when banks don't make that information available right away. We know that can be frustrating. Send us a note so we can take a look at your troublesome connections to see if there is anything we can do to resolve what you're seeing! help@ynab.com ~Phil@YNAB
