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 should not have to pay extra or do mental math every time you open your budget.
FreeBudget lets you choose your preferred currency from a single dropdown on your Profile page. That one selection controls how the entire app behaves. Amounts display with the correct symbol, decimal separator, and thousand grouping for your currency. 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 shapes the entire experience. Where it really shines is during imports and exports. Upload a CSV from your bank and FreeBudget uses your currency setting to intelligently resolve ambiguous dates, so 03/04/2025 always becomes the correct date. 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
USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, JPY, and 14 more. Pick yours from a dropdown on your Profile page and the entire app updates instantly.
Dates That Make Sense
Your currency choice sets your date convention automatically. MM/DD/YYYY for USD, DD/MM/YYYY for GBP and EUR, and the right format for every other supported currency.
Smart CSV Import Parsing
Importing a CSV from a non-US bank? FreeBudget uses your currency preference to figure out ambiguous dates, so 03/04/2025 always resolves to the correct date.
Exports That Look Right
CSV exports and PDF reports automatically use your selected currency format and date convention. Hand a report to your accountant and it will be formatted correctly.
One Setting, App-Wide
Pick your currency once on your Profile page. Dashboard, budgets, transactions, reports, and exports all follow your preference. No extra configuration.
Always Free
Currency support is included for everyone. Other budgeting apps charge extra for international features. FreeBudget does not.
Frequently asked questions
How do I change my currency?
Go to your Profile page and select your preferred currency from the dropdown. The change takes effect immediately across the entire app.
Which currencies are supported?
FreeBudget currently supports 20 currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, JPY, CHF, CNY, INR, MXN, BRL, KRW, SEK, NOK, DKK, NZD, SGD, HKD, ZAR, and PLN. 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 separator, thousand grouping) but does not convert the underlying values. If you track your finances in euros, select EUR and your existing numbers will display with the correct 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). When a day or month value exceeds 12, it can be resolved without any ambiguity 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. But if you ever import a CSV from an international institution, the smart date parsing will help ensure dates are read correctly.
