CarBudget is a desktop application developed by Niklas2233 that focuses on vehicle financial management, falling into the personal finance and automotive tracking category. Its primary purpose is to help users record the complete financial picture of vehicle ownership, from the initial purchase price through ongoing running expenses, and ultimately to the profit or loss realized when a vehicle is sold. The software is particularly useful for private car owners who want a clear overview of what their vehicles actually cost them, as well as for hobbyists, enthusiasts, or small-scale vehicle traders who buy and sell cars and need accurate calculations of gains and losses on each transaction. Core features include expense logging that supports photo attachments, allowing receipts and documents to be stored alongside individual cost entries for easier record-keeping and later reference. A plate lookup function helps users retrieve or confirm vehicle information, while built-in currency support makes the application practical for users dealing with transactions in different monetary units. The included economy dashboard presents the collected data in a summarized, accessible form so that spending patterns, total costs, and overall profitability can be reviewed at a glance rather than reconstructed manually from individual records. Although it is a desktop application, CarBudget also provides a mobile-accessible web UI, meaning users can consult or update their vehicle financial data from phones or tablets when away from their primary computer. The software is currently at version 0.2.0, and the catalog lists one released version to date, indicating an early-stage project that is still evolving. As version numbers below 1.0 typically suggest, CarBudget may be considered a work in progress, with its existing feature set already covering the essential workflow of cost tracking, expense documentation, and sale outcome calculation for vehicle owners.
