CashJot Travel Spend: Tips for Tracking Expenses on Your Next Trip

Traveling brings new experiences—and new expenses. Keep your travel spending clear and organised with CashJot's easy-to-use travel tracking features. Here's how to set it up:

1. Create an Expense Group for Your Trip

Set up an expense group just for your trip, like "Tokyo 2024," to keep travel spending separate from daily living costs. This makes it easy to track your trip's expenses at a glance.

2. Set a Trip Budget with Fixed Dates

For better control over your travel spending, create a budget within that expense group and set fixed dates (like May 11 to May 23, 2024). This helps you stay on target throughout your trip.

3. Filter the Calendar to Show Only Trip Expenses

See just the expenses from your trip group by filtering the calendar. You can view, compare, and adjust your travel spending without sifting through unrelated transactions.

4. Log Overseas Spending with Custom Rates

Using CashJot's multi-currency option, log expenses with custom rates. This way, you instantly know how much you're spending in your familiar currency, which can help prevent overspending—especially in destinations where unfamiliar currency values make it easy to lose track.
