The Goal Tracker on the Dashboard helps you track one savings goal on a single asset account. Open Goal Settings (gear icon), pick an asset account, and enter your goal details. Your Target Balance is defined as the desired account balance upon completion of the savings goal, which is calculated as Start Balance + Savings Goal. Upon finalizing your goal, the Goal Tracker chart shows your account balance over time in blue and a red target line. The target line is a straight line, beginning at your Start Balance on the Start Date and ending at your Target Balance on the Target Date.
Two metrics are displayed above the Goal Tracker chart:
-
Savings Progress shows the increase in you tracked account balance since your Start Balance. This is shown as $0 if the balance falls below that baseline. As an example, if your Start Balance is $5,000, your current balance is $5,500, and your Target Balance is $7,000, then Savings Progress is $500 / $2,000.
-
Pace compares your current balance to where the target line says you should be today (as explained above). On Target (green) means you are at or above the plan and At Risk (yellow) means you are below it. If you have not yet reached the Target Balance by the Target Date, Deadline Passed (gray) appears instead.
