The number that actually matters

Knowing what you spent never told you what you can spend.

Every budgeting app can tell you where last month went. Almost none can answer the question you actually have at the checkout: is this fine?

That’s the number Headroom is built around — what’s genuinely safe to spend after bills, goals, and commitments are set aside. Not a report. A living answer.

When the answer is always current, budgeting stops being a chore you do and becomes a fact you glance at. That shift — from bookkeeping to knowing — is the whole point.
