Priority Funding adds **High**, **Normal**, and **Low** priority to Expenses and Goals. Use it to express which commitments should receive money first when a payday cannot cover the whole plan. ## How allocation works Funding completes ordinary contributions before building extra Fund Ahead reserves. Within each phase, it considers priority first, then the earliest due date. An Expense precedes a Goal when their priority and due date tie. | Priority | Use it for | | - | - | | High | Commitments you want considered first. | | Normal | Your ordinary baseline. | | Low | Commitments that can wait behind higher priorities. | These examples describe choices you make; the app does not decide your priorities for you. ## When money runs short A contribution can be partially funded. Review planned, funded, and unfunded amounts instead of assuming the entire target was covered. Retries use the original saved funding plan. Changing a priority afterward does not silently rewrite that run's allocation history. ## Before saving Choose the priority in the Expense or Goal editor. Priority changes the order when money is short; it does not change the scheduled contribution. Saving settings does not move money. Understand the funding order and the difference between targets and balances. This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
