Use hot keys to add local tax to a split transaction amount
Click here to set up the hot keys so you can do this:
- Type in the line item amounts from your receipt after the colon like this... my_tag:1.23*2+3.45+7.25
- Press Ctrl-t to automatically calculate the sub-total and apply a local tax rate (e.g., 6.25%) resulting in... my_tag:13.98

claxton6: Can you expand on this a little? This is intended to help track all of the stuff that gets pulled out of your paycheck before it shows up, right?

Change the effective transaction date
When you edit a transaction, you can now change the effective date for reports and graphs. For example, suppose you withdrew cash from an ATM on the last day of the month, but you actually spent the cash in the next month. You can now change the date so the cash can be tagged in the month spent.

Let Wesabe do the math for you on the Tags line
For example, suppose you have a $35.13 transaction. You can enter the following:
groceries:(2.33+5.45+1.11)*1.065 health-care:(3.12+4.4)*1.065 kids:17.65
...where your local tax rate is 6.5%. Wesabe will automatically fill in the remainder of $17.65 when you enter the last colon. When you save the transaction, Wesabe correctly calculates the individual tag amounts as follows:
groceries:9.47 health-care:8.01 kids:17.65
