A period transaction is almost identical to a regular transaction, +except that it begins with a tilde and has a period expression in +place of a payee. For example: + +@smallexample +~ Monthly + Expenses:Rent $500.00 + Expenses:Food $450.00 + Expenses:Auto:Gas $120.00 + Expenses:Insurance $150.00 + Expenses:Phone $125.00 + Expenses:Utilities $100.00 + Expenses:Movies $50.00 + Expenses $200.00 ; all other expenses + Assets + +~ Yearly + Expenses:Auto:Repair $500.00 + Assets +@end smallexample + +These two period transactions give the usual monthly expenses, as well as +one typical yearly expense. For help on finding out what your average +monthly expense is for any category, use a command like: + +@example +ledger -p "this year" -MAs bal ^expenses +@end example + +The reported totals are the current year's average for each account. + +Once these period transactions are defined, creating a budget report is as +easy as adding @option{--budget} to the command-line. For example, a +typical monthly expense report would be: + +@example +ledger -M reg ^exp +@end example + +To see the same report balanced against your budget, use: + +@example +ledger --budget -M reg ^exp +@end example + +A budget report includes only those accounts that appear in the +budget. To see all expenses balanced against the budget, use +@option{--add-budget}. You can even see only the unbudgeted expenses +using @option{--unbudgeted}: + +@example +ledger --unbudgeted -M reg ^exp +@end example + +You can also use these flags with the @command{balance}
