ABSTRACT

Managing daily expenses is crucial for maintaining financial stability and achieving
organizational goals. In today's fast-paced and costly business environment, it's easy to overspend
without realizing it, leading to financial strain by month-end. To address this challenge, we introduce
the Daily Expenses Tracker (DET), a user-friendly web application designed to help organizations
track and manage their expenses efficiently. DET enables organizations to track earnings, categorize
expenses, set budgets, and generate insightful reports to gain a comprehensive understanding of
spending patterns over time. Users can define custom expense categories such as rent, salaries,
utilities, maintenance, and more, providing detailed information to specify each expense entry. One
of DET's key features is its focus on user privacy and data security. The application implements
robust encryption protocols and access controls to safeguard sensitive financial information. Whether
managing personal finances or planning for future expenses, DET serves as a valuable tool for
organizations looking to improve their financial management skills. Additionally, DET offers
visualization tools such as pie charts to help users visualize their expenses effectively. The
application also supports clustering capabilities using the Apriori algorithm, allowing for
personalized and administrative clustering of expenses. While initially targeted towards new job
holders, interns, and teenagers, DET is suitable for anyone looking to track and monitor their
expenses effectively. Organizations can sign up, add their expenses, and utilize DET to enhance their
financial tracking and decision-making processes.

INTRODUCTION
A daily expense tracker is a tool used to monitor and manage personal or business expenses
on a day-to-day basis. Tracker expenses daily can really help us save lot of money. It helps
individuals or organizations keep track of their spending, categorize expenses, set budgets and
analyze financial habits to make informed decisions. It will be able to generate your expense and
saving report as time duration you selected. They will be a reminder they will help to save money for
your pre-defined expenses.
Now a day’s people are concerned about regularity of their daily expenses. This is done
mainly for keep a track of the users’ daily expenses to have a control of users’ monthly expenses. We
have developed an web application named as “Expense Tracker” and this application is used to
manage the user‘s daily expenses and or any type of organisations in a more coherent and manageable
way. This application will help us to reduce the manual calculations for their daily expenses and also
keep the track of the expenses. With the help of this application, user/organization can calculate his
total expenses per day and these results will stored for unique user.
As the traditional methods of budgeting, we need to maintain the Excel sheets, Word
Documents, notes, and files for the user daily and monthly expenses. There is no as such full-fledged
solution to keep a track of our daily expenses easily. Keeping a log in diary is a very monotonous
process and also may sometimes lead into problems due to the manual calculations. Looking on all
the above given conditions, we are trying to satisfy the user requirements by building a mobile
application which will help them reduces their burdens. “Expense Tracker Application” is an
application where one can enter their daily expenses and end of the day, they know their expenses in
charts.
User initially enrolls himself in this application so that he could automatically login in using
his username and password into the application. User enters the saving amount initially, followed by
setting up the expense limit. Then user adds up expenses on daily basis or as per his convenience.
The application can predict users income and expenditure more efficiently. Systematic Budgeting
and Tracking expense is a risky and crucial task in the case of managing the expenditure of
organizations.

 CHAPTER-2
LITERATURE SURVEY

Daily expense trackers are tools designed to help organization monitor and manage them
spending habits effectively. This literature review aims to explore the benefits, features, and
effectiveness of daily expense trackers in promoting financial awareness and responsible money
management. Studies have shown that tracking daily expense can lead to increase financial awareness
and improved spending habits. By keeping a record of daily expenditures, Organization gains insights
into their spending patterns and can identify areas where they can cut costs or save money.
Digital expense tracking apps offer various features such as Expense categorization, budget
setting and financial goal tracking. These apps provide users with real-time updates on their financial
status, making it easier to stay within budget and avoid overspending.
Research suggests that using daily expense tracker can lead to positive changes in spending
behavior and financial outcomes. By monitoring their expenses regularly, organizations become
more mindful of their financial decisions and more likely to stick to their budget.
Despite their benefits, daily expense trackers may face challenges such as user fatigue, data
privacy concerns and compatibility issues with different devices. Some users may also find it difficult
to accurately categorize expenses or remember to input their transactions regularly.
Daily Expense Tracker valuable tools are promoting financial awareness and responsible
spending habits. While they offer various benefits, it is essential to address the challenges and
limitations associated with their use to maximize their effectiveness in helping organizations achieve
their financial goals.
These studies demonstrate the need for a more streamlined and automated approach to
expense management.
Web-based Solutions for Improved Expense Management:
Web-based expense tracking apps offer a promising solution to the challenges of manual
methods. Research suggests these apps can empower users with greater control over their spending.
Manchanda's study suggests that expense tracking apps can help users monitor expenses more
effectively, potentially leading to cost reductions.

5
 Furthermore, Bekaroo and Sunhaloo (2014) in "Intelligent Online Budget Tracker"
emphasize the benefits of online accessibility and real-time data. This real-time data is crucial for
informed financial decisions within an organization.
Security and User Experience: Key Considerations
While web-based expense tracking offers advantages, security and user experience remain
critical considerations. Research on Expenditure Management Systems (ResearchGate) highlights
the need for secure data storage and access controls to protect sensitive financial information. A user-
friendly interface is also essential for widespread adoption within an organization. As discussed in
"Personal Expense Tracker Application", a clunky or confusing interface can discourage users from
engaging with the system.
The existing literature strongly supports the development of a web app for budget and expense
tracking in organizations. Such a system can address the limitations of manual methods, promoting
financial control, optimized resource allocation, and data-driven decision making. Future research
can explore specific features and functionalities that cater to the diverse needs of different
organizations, such as integration with existing accounting software or advanced analytics tools.

 CHAPTER-3
SYSTEM ANALYSIS

3.1 Existing system

The Expense tracker existing system does not provide the user portable device management
level, existing system only used on desktop software so unable to update anywhere expenses done
and unable to update the location of the expense details disruptive that the proposed system provides.
In existing, we need to maintain the Excel sheets, CSV files for the user daily, weekly and monthly
expenses. In existing, there is no as such complete solution to keep a track of its daily expenses easily.
To do so a person as to keep a log in a diary or in a computer system, also all the calculations need
to be done by the user which may sometimes results in mistakes leading to losses. The existing system
is not user friendly because data is not maintained perfectly. But this project will not have any
reminder to remain a person in a specific date, so that is the only drawback in which the remainder
is not present. This project will be an unpopulated information because it has some disadvantages by
not remind a person for each and every month. But it can used to perform calculation on income and
expenses to overcome this problem we propose the new project.
Drawbacks of the Existing System:
There can be many disadvantages of using a manual accounting system. Accounting, for any
business, can be a complex undertaking. A manual accounting system requires you to understand the
accounting process in a way that may be unnecessary with a computerized accounting system. This
can be an advantage or a disadvantage, depending on the person doing the bookkeeping; often, a
specially trained professional is needed to ensure that accounting is done properly. Unrevealing the
complexity of your financial records by hand may be time consuming. Since it takes time to generate
reports.
3.2 Proposed system
To reduce manual calculations, we propose an application. This application allows users to
maintain a digital automated diary. Each user will be required to register on the system at registration
time, the user will be provided id, which will be used to maintain the record of each unique user.
Expense Tracker application which will keep a track of Income-Expense of a user on a day to day
basis.

 The best organizations have a way of tracking and handling these reimbursements. This ideal
practice guarantees that the expenses tracked are accurately and in a timely manner. From a company
perspective, timely settlements of these expenses when tracked well will certainly boost employees'
morale. Additional feature of Expense and income prediction helps to better budget management.
Advantages:
 The best organizations have a way of tracking and handling these reimbursements. This ideal
practice guarantees that the expenses tracked are accurately and in a timely manner. From a
company perspective, timely settlements of these expenses when tracked well will certainly
boost employees' morale.
 Financially Aware and Improve Money Management tracking your expenditures ensures you
achieve your project financial targets. How is that? By clearly understanding your project
spending using project budget limits, you can aptly make the necessary changes to complete
your project within time and budget.
 Effective expense tracking and reporting to avoid conflict. As a project manager or business
owner, you can set clear policies for the expense types and reimbursement limits to avoid
misunderstandings are about costs. Tracking the project expenses by asking team members
to provide receipts is helpful to avoid conflict and maintain compliance also. An excellent
reporting mechanism is extremely helpful to support the amount to be reimbursed to your
team and also invoicing to your customer.
 Helps anticipate the costs of similar projects When you formally track and report expenses,
you have a permanent documentation which helps you correctly anticipate expenses for
similar projects in the future. This is even more significant when it comes to budget-making
process.
 Tracking the amount of money spent on the projects is important to invoice customers and
determine the cost & profitability analysis when your company is providing services to
another company. On the other hand, expense tracking or internal project is important for cost
and ROI calculation. Understanding how this money is being utilized across the project is
such a significant issue. The consequence for not properly tracking and reporting project
expenses may lead to a budgetary issues.

The system architecture and overview of a daily expense tracker is like a digital notebook
where you can note down all your spending every day. It helps you keep track of where your money
goes and how much you're spending on different things like food, transportation or entertainment.
Fig. 1: System architecture diagram

Imagine the tracker as a digital system with different parts working together:
 User Interface (UI): This is what you see and interact with, like the screens and buttons on
your phone or computer.
 Backend: This is where all the magic happens behind the scenes. It stores your data, does
calculations, and makes sure everything runs smoothly.
 Database: Think of this as a big filing cabinet where all your expense records are stored. It
keeps everything organized so you can easily find what you're looking for.
 Integration: Sometimes the tracker might connect with other services, like your bank or
budgeting apps, to automatically import transactions or provide additional features.
HOW IT WORKS:

11
Here's how the daily expense tracker works:
 You open the application and log in with your account.
 You enter your expenses for the day, like how much you spent on rent, salaries, stationery
etc.
 The tracker saves this information in the database and updates your spending totals.
 You can then view reports or summaries to see where your money is going and if you're
sticking to your budget.
BENEFITS:
The daily expenses tracker helps you:
 Stay organized: By keeping all your spending records in one place.
 Budget better: By showing you where you're spending the most and where you might need
to cut back.

IMPLEMENTATION

5.1 IMPLEMENTATION AND OVERVIEW

PROCESS MODEL USED:
For a daily expense tracker, a suitable process model would be the agile methodology. Agile
allows for iterative development and continuous improvement, which is ideal for a project like a daily
expense tracker where requirements may evolve over time. It involves breaking down the
development process into smaller, manageable iterations or sprints, allowing for frequent feedback
and adjustments. This enables the development team to quickly respond to changing user needs and
adapt the application accordingly. Additionally, Agile encourages collaboration between developers
and user's, ensuring that the final product meets the user's expectations effectively.

DATA COLLECTION METHODS:

Source Of Data:
-User
1. Manual Input: Users manually enter their daily expenses into the tracker using a web application.
This method allows for flexibility and customization but relies on consistent user efforts.
2. Budgeting Data: Users may set budget limits for different expense categories within the
application. Data related to budget allocations, spending limits and progress towards goals can inform
users about their financial health.
3. Location Tracking: For expenses incurred at physical locations, the app can utilize location
tracking to suggest nearby merchants or automatically categorize expenses based on the user's current
location.
4. Cash Transaction: Users can manually input cash transactions into the tracker based on receipts
or memory. While this method requires more effort, it ensures all expenses are accounted for,
including those not captured through digital transactions.

5.2 TECHNOLOGIES USED

20
5.2.1 Front End Technology
For the front end of daily expense tracker using HTML, CSS, MATERIALIZE, you can
consider using the following:
HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language):
The backbone of any web application, HTML(Hyper Text Markup Language) will be used to
structure the content of your expense tracker application, including forms for inputting expenses,
tables for displaying expense data and other UI elements.
CSS (Cascading style sheets):
CSS will be used for styling the HTML elements, making the expense tracker visually
appealing and user-friendly. You can use CSS to define colors, fonts, layouts and other visual aspects
of your application.
Materialize:
Materialize is a modern responsive front-end framework based on Material Design principles.
It provides a set of CSS and JavaScript components that help in creating attractive and responsive
user interfaces.

5.2.2 Back End Technology

lightweight and flexible web framework that is well-suited for building Restful APIs, which can be
used to handle the backend logic of an expense tracker application.

5.2.3 Database Integration

Using MYSQL for the database of a daily expense tracker is a popular choice due to its
reliability, performance and widespread adoption. Here's how you might structure your MYSQL
database for a daily expense tracker:
User Table:
This table stores information about users who have registered for the expense tracker
application. It may include fields such as:
 User ID (Primary Key)
 Username
 Email
 Password (encrypted)
21
  Other relevant user information

Expense Table:
This table stores individual expense records for each user. It may include fields such as:
 Expense ID (Primary Key)
 User ID (Foreign Key referencing the User Table)
 Date of Expense
 Category (e.g., Salary, Transportation, Entertainment)
 Amount
 Description
 Timestamp (for when the expense was added)

CATEGORY TABLE:
This table stores predefined categories that users can choose from when adding expenses. It may
include fields such as:
 Category ID (Primary Key)
 Category Name

With this database structure in place, you can perform various operations such as adding,
retrieving, updating and deleting expenses for each user. You can also generate reports and analyze
expense data based on different criteria such as date category or user.

5.3 FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS

 CHAPTER-7
SYSTEM TESTING

7.1 TESTING
Testing is crucial for ensuring the reliability and functionality of a daily expense tracker
application. Here's how you can approach testing for your expense tracker.
1. UNIT TESTING:
Write unit tests to test individual components of your application such as functions, methods,
and classes.
For example:
 Test functions that perform calculations or data manipulation.
 Test methods in your controllers that handle CRUD operations for expenses.
 Test utility functions for formatting dates or validating input.

Fig 11: Test case

2. Integration Testing:

Test the interaction between different components of your application, such as the interaction
between backend and the database.
For example:

36
 Test API endpoints to ensure they return the expected responses for various inputs.

37
  Test Database queries to ensure they retrieve the correct data.
3. System testing:
System testing for a daily expense tracker involves testing the entire system as a whole to ensure that
all components work together correctly and meet the specified requirements.

Fig 12: System testing

BASICS OF SOFTWARE TESTING:

In order to start the testing process the primary thing is the software development cycle. Using
this phase will be easier for testing. The capability of the software can be calculated by executing the
code and inspecting the code in different condition such as testing the software by subjecting it to
different sources as input and examining the results with respect to the inputs.
There are two basics of software testing: Black box testing and White box testing
i. Black box Testing: Black Box Testing is a testing method where the internal structure, design, or
implementation details of the software under test are not known to the tester. The tester focuses on
the inputs and outputs of the software without having knowledge of how the application achieves its
results. The goal is to validate the functionality of the software, ensuring it behaves as expected.
ii. White box Testing: White Box Testing is a testing method where the tester has complete
knowledge of the internal code, logic, and implementation details of the software. The focus is on
testing the internal structures, code paths, and algorithms to ensure they function correctly. This
method is also known as Glass Box Testing, Clear Box Testing, or Structural Testing.

38
FUNCTIONAL AND NON-FUNCTIONAL TESTING
i. Functional Testing:
Functional testing is a type of software testing that evaluates the system's functionality by
testing its features against the specified requirements. The focus is on what the system does. It ensures
that the software behaves as expected, performs its functions correctly, and meets the business
requirements.
ii. Non-Functional Testing:
Non-functional testing evaluates aspects of the software that are not related to specific
behaviours or functions. It focuses on characteristics such performance, usability, reliability, and
security.

 CHAPTER-9
CONCLUSION

In conclusion, a daily expense tracker is a valuable tool for organization to manage their
finances effectively. By accurately recording expenses, users can gain insight into their spending
habits, identify areas for savings and maintain better control over their budget. With the right features,
such as intuitive user interface, robust backend functionality and secure data management, a daily
expense tracker can empower users to make informed financial decisions and achieve their financial
goals.
Whether it's for personal budgeting, expense tracking for businesses or simply staying
organized, a well-designed expense tracker can be a practical and essential tool for anyone looking
to manage their finances efficiently.

 CHAPTER-10
FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

The Future Enhancements of the application can be allowed to support in all the upcoming
android versions. History can be set to view all the details in the app even if the particular data is
deleted from the database. Statistics could be prepared based on the Income, Expense details of the
user. Sharing files via Bluetooth, WhatsApp can be allowed. Printing the details of the particular
income or expense details can be made. Some of the extra components are like enabling users to
register to the application using existing email or social network account, it will synchronize the users
profile data to the application.Building on the core functionalities, here are some exciting possibilities
for future enhancements to your budget and expense tracker app:
Advanced Analytics & AI Integration:
 Predictive Analytics: Leverage AI to predict future spending patterns and suggest areas for
potential cost savings.
 Prescriptive Analytics: Go beyond prediction with AI-powered recommendations for
optimizing budgets and resource allocation.
 Spend Category Detection: Utilize AI to automatically categorize expenses based on receipt
information, eliminating manual data entry for users.

Integration & Automation:

 Automatic Bank Feed Integration: Seamlessly import transaction data directly from bank
accounts for effortless expense tracking.
 Bill Pay Integration: Integrate with bill payment services for automated bill payments
directly within the app.
 Smart Receipt Capture: Utilize Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to
automatically extract data from receipts, further reducing manual data entry.

Advanced Security & Compliance:

 Multi-factor Authentication: Implement multi-factor authentication for an extra layer of
security on user accounts.
 Data Encryption at Rest & in Transit: Ensure all data is encrypted both when stored and
while being transferred for enhanced security.
