Ignoring leaves a transaction out of your numbers without deleting it. It's handy for one-offs that would skew the picture, like a big purchase a friend paid you back for, or money moving between your own accounts.
The three choices
Choice | What it means |
|---|---|
Don't ignore | Counts everywhere: totals, budgets and charts. |
Ignore from budgets | Stays in your totals and history, but never counts against a budget. |
Ignore from everything | Left out of every total, budget and chart. Still in your list, greyed out. |
Ignore one transaction
Open the transaction
Click or tap it on the Transactions page.
Choose Ignore
It's in the first group of rows and shows the current setting.
Pick a choice
It saves straight away. To bring the transaction back, choose Don't ignore.
Ignore many at once, or every time
On a computer, tick the transactions and use Ignore in the bar: From budgets, From everything or Count everywhere. See change many transactions at once.
To ignore a merchant's transactions every time, add Ignore to a rule. See create a rule.
How ignored transactions look
Transactions ignored from everything look faded in the list, with an ignore mark beside the merchant. Ones ignored from budgets show a small budgets mark instead. To take ignored transactions out of the list, open the filters and turn on Hide excluded under Show only.
In a split, each part has its own setting, so you can leave out the share someone paid you back for and count only yours. See split a transaction.
Why some transactions are ignored for you
- Transfers between your own accounts. When money leaves one of your accounts and the same amount arrives in another, we pair the two and ignore both, so a credit card payment isn't counted as spending on top of the purchases. See pending transactions and transfers.
- Ignored accounts. When you ignore a whole account on the Accounts page, every transaction in it is ignored too, including new ones. See ignoring an account.
- Your rules. A rule that ignores transactions does it for every one it matches.
You can change any of these yourself: open the transaction, choose Ignore and pick Don't ignore.
