Recurring Expenses

Set up expenses that repeat automatically — subscriptions, rent, gym memberships — so you don't have to log them manually each time.

Adding a recurring expense

The easiest way is natural language:

Netflix 18.90 monthly
gym 150 every month
Spotify 17 monthly
rent 1200 monthly

Or use the step-by-step setup:

/addrecurring

You'll be asked for:

1. Description
2. Amount and currency
3. Category
4. Frequency (daily / weekly / monthly)
5. Account (optional)
6. Start date (optional, defaults to today)
7. End date (optional, for fixed-term subscriptions)

Viewing recurring expenses

/recurring

Lists all your recurring expenses with Pause, Resume, and Delete buttons.

How auto-logging works

Every day at 08:00 UTC, Duitbot checks for recurring expenses that are due. When one is due:

1. An expense entry is created automatically
2. The account balance is deducted (if an account is linked)
3. You receive a Telegram notification
4. The next due date is advanced

Month-end handling is smart — e.g. if a recurring expense is set for the 31st, in February it fires on the 28th.

tip

Duitbot's auto-log is idempotent — if the job runs twice (e.g. after a restart), it won't create duplicate entries.

Pausing & resuming

Tap Pause on any recurring expense to temporarily stop it from auto-logging. Tap Resume to re-enable it.

Upcoming recurring in AI context

When you ask the bot about your finances (e.g. "how much do I have left this month?"), Duitbot automatically factors in upcoming recurring expenses due in the next 7 days.
