Abstract:- Expense management software simplifies and automates the process of tracking and reconciling expenses, reducing paperwork, and minimizing errors. Many people today, particularly millennials, tend to prioritize spending over saving. However, when it comes to making important investments, such as buying a house or a car, the importance of saving money becomes clear. Effective management of expenses is crucial for both individuals and organizations to achieve their financial goals. Unfortunately, a lack of expense management software can make this process difficult and frustrating.

INTRODUCTION

An AI-based expense tracker assists users in creating budgets, tracking expenses, and saving money automatically. It provides intelligent advice and recommendations on how to save money. The application includes features such as salary advances, savings accounts, cash back rewards, and expense management tips. The user interface and user experience are easy to understand and navigate. To provide smart suggestions and recommendations as an AI financial assistant, this application synchronizes with the user's accounts and analyses their spending patterns. Once enough information and details about accounts and expenditures have been collected, it will automatically recommend the most suitable methods for decreasing expenses and efficiently saving money.

In this architecture, data input is received from various sources, and then it is stored in a secure location such as a database or cloud storage. The data is then processed using machine learning algorithms to extract relevant information, such as identifying patterns, detecting fraud, and categorizing expenses. The processed data is then presented to the users through a user interface, where they can view reports, visualizations, and receive alerts. The system also includes business logic, which handles all the business rules,

LITERATURE SURVEY

There have been various methods for tracking expenses over time, both traditional and technological. In the past, people would write down their expenses in a register to calculate their profits or savings. Today, there are many different software options available, both on desktop and mobile devices. Some early examples include Quicken and Microsoft Money. More recent options include apps like Personal Capital and Dollar Bird, which allow users to visualize their spending through graphs and calendar systems

[Expense Tracker -A Smart Approach to Track Everyday Expense, 4809] by Hrithik Gupta and team, they created a daily expense management system intended to keep track of the daily expenses of employees effortlessly and efficiently through a computerized system that eliminates paperwork and maintains records in an organized manner. [Analytical expense management system, ] by Zeki Bozkus and team, they collect information related to the expenses and may propose aggregation of figures. Result is close to what excel sheet provides.

[system ,1934-7197] by Dr. Geetha and team. this application also eliminates the paper work and systematically maintains information. They had categories in expense tracker such as add expenses, monthly expenses, add new expenses. It also has daily reminder about savings

For small business owners, there are also specialized options like QuickBooks. Among the newer apps in this category, You Need a Budget that stands out for its ability to automatically track expenses through bank accounts and credit cards, and its ability to help users plan for future costs. Additionally, this app is mobile-friendly, and it has been

around since 2013. it also has embedded AI technology to help manage and define daily expenses.

However, this app does not provide detailed information about external costs, but it receives that information through a window application via text.

The goal of this project is to create a web application for tracking expenses, with the aim of making it as convenient as possible for users. Many people struggle to keep track of their personal expenses, often not knowing where their money is going. In the past, people have used various methods to track their expenses, such as sticky notes or spreadsheets. However, these methods can be inconsistent and prone to errors.

The goal of this mobile application is to provide a more efficient and user-friendly solution for tracking expenses. The app will be designed to be easy to use, capable of recording expenses and providing a clear overview of spending. Additionally, the app will have an intelligent feature that can show the history of expenses recorded in the app.

PROPOSED SYSYTEM

The proposed system we are going to add additional features such as integrating image attachment from the gallery and a chatting feature. Users will also be able to login easily using social login options like OAuth. The system will have an image view feature to view expenses and receivables, making it easy for users to track their expenses. A budget calculation feature is also included, which will send notifications to the users if they exceed their expenditure for the month or day. Usrs will also be able to enter their receivables in the system. The system will have a feature to view the expenses list which the user has entered earlier. If the user spends too much on a particular item, the system will send a notification with recommendations on how to reduce expenditure on that item.

We have successfully developed a system that allows expense management functionality. The system comprises of several key components including a robust database, a user- friendly desktop web application, and an intuitive user interface.

This Expense Tracker is a web-based application that can be accessed at any time, it has a two-tier architecture.

The database tier will store all financial data and the user interface will enable user to interact with the system and store information in the database. The system will identify the transactions made through messaging apps, and it will provide various categories for the user to select from including transaction type and mode of payment. The system will also analyse the data, giving insights on where the user spent most of their money. Additionally, the user interface will allow the user to store and view past expenses in various categories.
