VolaFin

Personal finance management platform built around one question: how much can I actually spend? Vola means money in Malagasy — the rest is FINance.

Why VolaFin exists

A bank balance is a liar by omission: it shows what you have, not what is already spoken for. Rent due Friday, the subscription renewing next week — money that looks available and isn't. VolaFin computes a Real Available Balance in real time so the number you see is the number you can spend.

The Real Available Balance

Gross balances across every account, minus everything already committed to upcoming charges:

	Amount
Gross balance (all accounts)	2 180 000 Ar
Committed (upcoming recurring charges)	-939 500 Ar
Real available balance	1 240 500 Ar

The figure updates live as transactions and schedules change — no month-end surprise, no mental arithmetic.
