 CONCLUSION AND FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

Conclusion

The Python program is a simple yet effective expense tracker that helps users manage their
finances by tracking their salary, food expenses, and purchase expenses. By utilizing the
ExpenseTracker class, users can input their salary and expenses, which the program then uses
to calculate total expenses and the remaining balance. This is done through methods that
update the salary and expenses, and then compute the total expenses and remaining
balance.When the program runs, it prompts the user to enter their salary, food expenses, and
purchase expenses. It then displays the total amount spent on expenses and the remaining
balance after subtracting the total expenses from the salary. This straightforward interface
allows users to easily keep track of their financial status and make informed decisions about
their spending. The program highlights the importance of monitoring expenses and maintaining
a balanced budget to achieve financial stability.

Future enhancement

Future enhancements for the ExpenseTracker program can include several features to improve
usability and functionality. Firstly, adding a graphical user interface (GUI) using libraries such
as Tkinter or PyQt can make the application more user-friendly. Incorporating data persistence
with a database (e.g., SQLite) allows users to save and retrieve their expense data across
sessions. Additionally, implementing categories for expenses (e.g., entertainment, utilities) can
provide more detailed tracking and analysis.Another enhancement could be generating visual
reports and charts to help users understand their spending patterns. Integration with external
APIs to fetch exchange rates can assist users who manage expenses in different currencies.
Adding user authentication and multi-user support would allow different individuals to track
their expenses separately. Finally, incorporating budget planning and alerts can help users
manage their finances more effectively by setting limits and receiving notifications when they
are close to exceeding their budget.
