Currency Support
Budget in the currency you actually use.
Pick your preferred currency from 20 options and FreeBudget adapts all number formatting, date conventions, imports, and exports to match. One setting, app-wide. Completely free.
Your money, your format
Not everyone budgets in dollars. Whether you use pounds, euros, yen, or any of our 20 supported currencies — FreeBudget adapts to you.
Most free budgeting tools assume everyone uses US dollars. If your financial life runs on a different currency, you shouldn't have to pay extra or do mental math every time you check your budget.
FreeBudget lets you choose your preferred currency from a dropdown on your Profile page. That single selection drives how the entire app behaves — amounts display with the correct symbol, decimal separator, and thousand grouping for your currency, and dates switch to the convention that matches your locale (DD/MM/YYYY for GBP and EUR, MM/DD/YYYY for USD, and so on).
This is not multi-currency accounting — it is a single currency preference that adapts the entire app to your conventions. The real power shows up during imports and exports. When you upload a CSV from your bank, FreeBudget uses your currency setting to intelligently resolve ambiguous dates — so 03/04/2025 becomes the right date every time. Exports and PDF reports follow the same logic, so everything you share is formatted exactly the way you expect.

How it works
20 Currencies to Choose From
Pick from USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, JPY, and 14 more. Your selection drives number and date formatting across the entire app — one preference, everywhere.
Locale-Aware Dates
Your currency choice also sets your date convention. MM/DD/YYYY for USD, DD/MM/YYYY for GBP and EUR, and the right format for every other supported currency. No configuration needed.
Smart CSV Import Parsing
Importing a CSV from a non-US bank? FreeBudget uses your currency preference to resolve ambiguous date formats, so 03/04/2025 becomes the correct date automatically.
Formatted Exports & Reports
CSV exports and PDF reports automatically use your selected currency format and date convention. Share a report with your accountant and it looks exactly right.
One Setting, App-Wide
Pick your currency once on your Profile page and every screen updates instantly — dashboard, budgets, transactions, reports, and exports all follow your preference.
Always Free
Currency support is included at no extra cost. Other budgeting apps lock international features behind a premium tier — FreeBudget includes them for everyone.
Frequently asked questions
How do I change my currency?
Head to your Profile page and select your preferred currency from the dropdown. The change takes effect immediately across the entire app — dashboard, budgets, transactions, reports, and exports.
Which currencies are supported?
FreeBudget currently supports 20 currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, NZD, CHF, JPY, CNY, INR, BRL, MXN, ZAR, SEK, NOK, DKK, PLN, CZK, HUF, and KRW. More are added based on user feedback.
Does changing my currency convert my existing amounts?
No. Changing your currency updates how amounts are displayed (symbol, decimal and thousand separators) but does not convert values. If you track your finances in euros, simply select EUR and your existing numbers will display with the correct euro formatting.
How does date format detection work for CSV imports?
When you import a CSV, FreeBudget uses your currency setting to resolve ambiguous dates. For example, if your currency is GBP, the date 03/04/2025 is read as April 3rd (DD/MM format). If a day or month value exceeds 12, it can be resolved unambiguously regardless of your setting.
I budget in USD — does this feature matter to me?
If you budget exclusively in US dollars, the default settings already work perfectly for you. But if you ever import a CSV from an international institution, the smart date parsing will help ensure dates are read correctly.
