Abstract
Expense Tracker is a web application that allows you to track the daily expense of the user and help them to better
manage their incomes. It creates a digital record of the income and expenses of the user. It inputs from the user an
income, the source of this income, and the date of earning that income and creates a transaction entry under the income
category sums to the total amount of income, and makes real-time changes. The various sources of income can be
added and thus the distribution of your income is also illustrated by real-time functioning charts that will keep updating
as per your transactions.
