Dragon Budget FAQ

Dragon Budget is an Early Alpha budgeting app and browser-only calculator that helps people answer “Can I afford this?” by estimating safe-to-spend money.

Safe-to-spend means money left after accounting for your current balance, upcoming income, bills, planned expenses, savings goals, and emergency buffer.

The calculator can estimate whether a purchase fits the numbers you enter. It cannot know every future event, so treat the result as a budgeting aid.

No. Dragon Budget is a budgeting aid, not financial advice. It helps organize your numbers but does not replace professional advice.

It is for people who want a clearer daily spending number, especially when upcoming bills, irregular income, or savings goals make a bank balance hard to interpret.

The current browser-only calculator does not connect to banks. Future account or bank features would require an updated privacy policy before launch.

Yes. The Can I Afford This calculator is free to use.

Adaptive pricing is planned as a transparent way to keep premium features affordable, with a possible $1 to $20 monthly range. It is not active on this public site.

The current calculator runs in your browser and does not store or transmit your inputs by default.

The browser-only calculator is available now. The fuller app is in Early Alpha, and planned features are labeled as planned.

Dragon Advisor is a planned local-data assistant that explains budget calculations and cites the bills, balances, subscriptions, goals, and planned items it used.

Subscription Watch is planned for the full app. The public site currently includes a browser-only subscription savings calculator and subscription audit guide.

Event budgeting is planned for the app, and this site includes a browser-only event budget demo plus an event budgeting guide.

The app status matrix separates available public site features from planned and future app features.
