Thank you for contacting Moneydance support.</p>
<p>There are two types of budget available within Moneydance, and you can read about them both in <a href="https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/kb/budgeting-2">this section</a> of the knowledge base.</p>
<p>Go to Tools —> Budget Manager, and select ‘New’. You can then enter the budget name and select the ‘period’.<br>
Selecting either <em>Weekly, Biweekly, Monthly</em> or <em>Annually</em> will create budget using this time period, and the 'Newer' budget format.<br>
Selecting <em>Mixed Interval</em> will create an older style budget, which can have categories with different time intervals.</p>
<p>I would recommend using the 'Mixed Interval' format. Using the budget type, you can amend the start and end date for each budget item, and they're not set as the specific month/year etc.</p>
<p>I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions or need more assistance.</p>
