Running Balance Column [edited] (3 Merged Votes)

why was this denied?

nope, that's not a real answer. That looks like ideology to me. Simplifi literally advertises "Works with any budget style" on your home page but that's seems to be misleading. It also doesn't answer why its not an option. [removed - disruptive]

Summary:
I’d like a rolling balance column in the transaction history for each account so I can see the account balance after every transaction.

Problem:
When reviewing account activity, it’s hard to quickly understand how
each transaction affected the balance over time. I can see the
individual amounts, but not the running account total at each point in
the register. That makes it harder to trace balance changes, verify
transactions, and understand when my balance increased or dropped.

Requested Solution:
Add a rolling balance / running balance column to the transaction history within each account that shows the account balance immediately after each transaction posts.

Helpful details:

• Show the balance next to every transaction in date order
• Update the running balance as transactions are added, edited, or deleted
• Support sorting behavior that keeps the balance accurate to the displayed order
• Make it available in both desktop/web and mobile if possible
• Optionally allow users to show or hide the column

Why this matters:
A rolling balance column would make account registers much easier to use
for reconciling activity, spotting unexpected changes, and
understanding cash flow inside a specific account, as well as assisting with balancing an account

Example use case:
If I’m reviewing my checking account, I want to see exactly what my
balance was after rent cleared, after my paycheck posted, and after
smaller purchases hit, without having to calculate it manually.

Expected benefit:
This would improve account clarity, reduce manual math, and make
transaction history more useful for day-to-day balance tracking.
