The Goal Tracker on the Dashboard helps you track one financial goal on a single account — either a Savings Target on an asset account or a Debt Payoff plan on a liability account. Open Goal Settings (gear icon). If you have not saved a goal yet, choose Savings Target or Debt Payoff, then enter your plan details.
Savings Target: Pick an asset account and enter Start Balance, Savings Goal, Start Date, and Target Date. Your Target Balance is Start Balance + Savings Goal. The chart shows your account balance in blue and a red target line from Start Balance on the Start Date to Target Balance on the Target Date.
Debt Payoff: Pick a liability account and enter Start Balance (debt at plan start), Start Date, and Payoff Date. The chart shows balance in blue and a red target line from Start Balance down to $0 by the Payoff Date.
Two metrics appear above the chart for either goal type:
-
Savings Progress (Savings Target) or Payoff Progress (Debt Payoff) shows how much you have saved or paid down versus the total goal amount. Progress is shown as $0 if the balance moves in the wrong direction (e.g. debt grows above your Start Balance).
-
Pace compares your current balance to where the target line says you should be today. On Target (green) means you are at or above the plan (for savings) or at or below it (for debt payoff). At Risk (yellow) means you are behind. If you have not reached the goal by the target/payoff date, Deadline Passed (gray) appears instead.
