Which? review of Budget Forecaster

Budget Forecaster is a program that is designed for both personal and small business use, and one which is perfect for setting all sorts of budgets.

You can also analyse your finances in a variety of ways, such as through the expense distribution pie chart (where your money is going) and the expense-to-income graph.

It has a non-fussy main page with panels showing your principle income/expenditure and existing family budgets, as well as a useful tips box in the bottom left-hand corner.

We particularly liked the range of in-built calculators that can tell you how much should be saved to pay for a decent retirement or your child's education.

However, we didn't find the support on offer as comprehensive as elsewhere.

  • Cost: £19.99
  • Password protection: No
  • Mac-compatible: No

Which? verdict

A cost-effective package that is great for budget setting, but we found more on offer in rival packages.
