Spending Activity Analysis
Visualize your daily financial activity with interactive bar charts that show exactly where your money comes from and where it goes.
Interactive Segment Analysis
🎯 Hover for Detailed Breakdowns
Move your mouse over any colored segment within a bar to see detailed information:
- • Segment name: The specific category, vendor, or group
- • Amount: How much was spent/earned in that segment
- • Percentage: What portion of the total bar this represents
- • Date context: Which day or period this data covers
📊 Smart Segmentation
The chart automatically chooses the best way to break down your spending based on your current filters:
- • No filters: Shows spending by category groups (Food, Transport, Bills, etc.)
- • Group selected: Shows individual categories within that group
- • Categories selected: Shows individual vendors within those categories
📍 Persistent Details Panel
When you hover over a segment, a detailed information panel appears below the chart and stays visible until you close it. This lets you:
- • Study the breakdown without keeping your mouse perfectly positioned
- • Compare different segments by switching between them
- • See sub-breakdowns (like vendors within a category)
Understanding Your Segments
🏷️ By Category Groups
When no filters are applied, see high-level spending areas:
- • Food & Dining
- • Transportation
- • Housing & Utilities
- • Entertainment
- • And more...
📂 By Categories
When you filter by a group, see specific budget categories:
- • Groceries vs Restaurant spending
- • Gas vs Public Transport
- • Rent vs Utilities
🏪 By Vendors
When you filter by categories, see individual merchants:
- • Which grocery stores you use most
- • Your most frequent restaurants
- • Subscription services and their costs
Spotting Financial Patterns
📈 Healthy Patterns to Look For
- • Consistent income bars: Regular purple bars of similar height
- • Controlled spending: Red bars generally smaller than purple ones
- • Balanced segments: No single category dominating your spending
- • Predictable patterns: Similar spending distribution from month to month
⚠️ Warning Signs to Watch
- • Red bars exceeding purple: Spending more than you earn
- • Huge single segments: One category taking up most of your spending
- • Irregular patterns: Wild swings that are hard to predict
- • Missing income bars: Gaps in regular income sources
How Filtering Changes Your View
🔍 Focused Analysis
When you apply category or group filters, the spending activity chart recalculates to show only the transactions that match your selection. This gives you a focused view of specific spending areas.
📊 Dynamic Segmentation
The chart's segmentation automatically adapts to provide the most useful breakdown:
- • Start with no filters to see your overall spending distribution
- • Add a group filter to drill down into specific spending areas
- • Select individual categories to see vendor-level detail
💡 Spending Activity Tips
- Look for days where red bars are unusually large to identify big spending events
- Use vendor-level segmentation to find opportunities to consolidate spending
- Compare weekdays vs weekends to understand your different spending patterns
- Hover over segments you don't recognize to identify unusual or one-off expenses
- Use longer time ranges to spot seasonal patterns in your income and spending
