Budget updates

Budget creation and editing just got more flexible

We've made two improvements to budgets based on your feedback, giving you more control over how you plan and manage your cash flow.

More frequency options

You can now create budgets that repeat every 2 months or every 6 months. This means less manual work for expenses that don't fit into monthly patterns, such as bi-monthly subscriptions or semi-annual payments. Set it once and let it repeat automatically.

Change budget accounts without starting over

Need to move a budget to a different account? You can now change the account instead of deleting and recreating the budget. Your forecast stays intact, and you save time on unnecessary work.

New invoices and bills are assigned expected dates based on the typical payment patterns for each customer and supplier.

Want to override the expected date? These can be manually updated as more information about likely payment becomes available.

Shared by Graeme • October 24, 2025

We know accrual accounting adds complexity to VAT forecasting. Tracking invoices when they're issued and bills when they're received, but Float works on a cash basis. We've done the work to bridge that gap.

What this means for you:

  • Automatic accrual VAT predictions based on your Float forecast and Xero data
  • Float handles the cash-to-accrual conversion behind the scenes
  • The same three prediction models you'd expect (Quick, Worst-case, or Advanced)
  • Updates automatically as your forecast changes

Whether you're on a cash or accrual basis, VAT predictions now save you time on calculations and help you plan with confidence.

Currently available for GBP, AUD, and NZD with our Xero integration.

Shared by Graeme • July 31, 2025

Spend less time on data entry, more time growing your business.

We know how much time you spend manually calculating and updating VAT/GST forecasts in your cash flow. It's tedious work that takes you away from what really matters, running and growing your business. That's why we've built VAT Predictions for Float.

What this means for you:

  • Your VAT payments are automatically predicted using your existing Xero data and information added to Float
  • Choose from three prediction models that match your planning style (Quick, Worst-case or Advanced)
  • Automatic updates when your cash flow changes, no more remembering to recalculate VAT every time you adjust your forecast
  • Make manual adjustments when needed or let it run completely hands-off
