About budget reports and graphs
Quicken provides two types of budget reports: a Current Budget report and an Historical Budget report. Although both reports compare the money you spend and receive during a specific date range with the amounts you've budgeted for that date range, there are slight differences between them.
| Current Budget report | Historical Budget report |
|---|---|
| Calculates the difference between actual and budgeted amounts for each line item using currently assigned values for the budget amounts. | Calculates the difference between the actual and budgeted amounts for each line item using historically assigned values for the budget amounts. |
| Reports on any past date range | Reports on only the years for which the selected budget exists |
To create a budget report and graph
- Click the Planning tab.
- Click the Budgets button.
