Quicken Personal 2009

Organise your finances

Quicken Personal gives you the tools to better understand your finances. It shows where your income originates and where you are spending while providing an instant snapshot of your financial health. Spending reports and graphs illustrate the details and all reports can be saved as PDF files.

Stay on top of banking and bills

Track your bank accounts, credit cards, income and expenses. Also schedule bills and other recurring transactions such as direct debits and salary payments.

Managing home, car and personal loans is easy. Instantly view payments and balances, including the separation of interest and principal. Even simulate additional payments to observe their short and long-term impacts on the loan.

Prepare for tax time

Quicken Personal 2009 includes great features to make tax time less painful. It automatically categorises items to match the relevant ‘Tax Pack’ questions and generates reports to help you accurately complete tax forms.

Plan for the future

Use the budgeting tools to help save and plan for the future. Create realistic budgets based on previous years’ figures and undertake ‘scenario analysis’ such as how are your savings affected if you eat out less. Use Quicken Personal’s mini reports and trend graphs to quickly see whether you're within budget for a particular category.

Track interest-only loans

Have the Loans wizard guide you through setting up a traditional bank loan or a more flexible interest-only loan.
