Ghar Ka Kharcha Tracker & Monthly Household Budget Planner in PKR
KharchaTracker helps Pakistani households and salaried professionals track daily ghar ka kharcha in PKR across Cash in Hand, Pakistani bank accounts (Meezan, HBL, UBL, Alfalah, SadaPay, NayaPay), and mobile wallets (JazzCash, EasyPaisa). Users can set monthly category budgets, schedule recurring utility bills and rent, share family workspaces, and protect personal financial data with client-side AES-256-GCM encryption.
01. Built Around Real Pakistani Household Categories
Generic Western budgeting apps force USD defaults and irrelevant categories. KharchaTracker is tailored for Pakistani household cash flows in Rs / PKR from day one.
- Track Groceries (Karyana, Sabzi, Milk, Meat), Utility Bills (Electricity, Gas, Internet, Water), Fuel, School Fees, Medical, Rent, and Sadaqah/Zakat.
- Sub-20ms Fast Entry lets you log an expense before putting your phone back in your pocket.
- Account-to-account transfers accurately track ATM cash withdrawals or JazzCash/SadaPay top-ups without inflating expenses.
02. Monthly Category Budgets & Inflation Variance Control
Set monthly spending ceilings per category and see exactly how much budget remains before month-end.
- Visual progress tracking highlights categories approaching 80% or 100% of monthly allocation.
- Month-over-month spending comparison spots utility tariff spikes and grocery inflation immediately.
- Recurring bill reminders ensure rent, school tuition, internet, and committee installments are never missed.
03. Shared Family Wallet with Role Permissions
Keep spouses or family members aligned on household spending without sharing bank passwords.
- Invite family members via email as Admin, Editor, or Viewer on a shared household workspace.
- Every entry shows which member logged it and from which wallet or bank account.
- Separate Personal and Business workspaces under one login so shop cash and home expenses never mix.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does KharchaTracker require linking my Pakistani bank login or OTP?
No. KharchaTracker never asks for your bank credentials, ATM PIN, or SMS inbox access. You log entries directly or import CSV statements while keeping 100% zero-knowledge privacy.
Can my spouse and I log household expenses into the same budget?
Yes. Create a Personal Workspace and invite your spouse or family member by email. Both phones sync in real time with full visibility into category budgets and wallet balances.
How do ATM withdrawals or bank-to-wallet transfers work?
Use the built-in Account Transfer action to move PKR from a Bank Account (e.g. Meezan Bank) to Cash in Hand or SadaPay/JazzCash. Balances update accurately without falsely counting the transfer as an expense.
