Hi Rowena, thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback on adding a calculator button within Budget Manager cells.
We understand how this could make it easier to perform calculations while working on your budgets. After reviewing this idea, we’ve updated its status to Not in the Pipeline. This means the product team has considered it, but it isn’t currently on the foreseeable roadmap.
The idea will remain open for votes, and we’ll continue to monitor the feedback and support for it. We really value your input and appreciate you helping us shape the future of Xero.

Hey team, we get how being able to attach supporting documents could help when explaining budgets. Attaching a file or worksheet to an individual budget cell isn’t currently available, so we’ll keep this documentation need in view as our new budgets experience evolves.

Hi everyone, we appreciate you continuing to highlight how account ordering affects budget preparation and review.
We've launched new Analytics Budgets (currently in early access) and being able to reorder Account Lines is planned.
Being open this will not sort automatically by GL number, but once available you'll be able to drag accounts into the order that suits you within each account group, and the order is saved for each budget. 😊
I'll keep you updated of news for this, here.

Hey team, thanks for all your feedback it clearly explains why monthly entry can be a poor fit for organisations that plan annually.
Our new Budgets experience is in early access, and supports defined start and end dates and longer planning horizons. While annual target entry and automatic spreading across months aren't within the initial release, we have plans for adding more complex formulas for adjustments and populating your budget values. I'll come back to share more as this work progresses.

Hi everyone, thanks for your engagement here. We understand the time involved in recreating budgets each year.
Our new Analytics Budgets makes it easier to create budgets from actuals, it supports multiple budgets, and there is the option to extend the budget period up to 5 years.
Being able to directly copy or transfer from one budget to another isn’t currently available. Import and export work is part of the future direction, and we’ll be sure to update here if there's any news around this, for you all.

Hi team, we appreciate the appetite in formula driven budgets, to help reduce manual work. Recently, we released Analytics Budgets that's currently in early access. This new experience introduces suggested and event based adjustments, including percentage changes, giving you more flexible ways to model change.
While linking of lines and accounts within a budget isn't currently possible, this is something we're exploring as a future enhancement. I'll keep you updated of any news for this here.

Hi community, we appreciate hearing how focused reports without unrelated accounts would be useful for different budget owners.
We've recently released early access of our new Budgets experience, that brings a more flexible grid and filters.
That said, it doesn’t currently provide a way to hide selected accounts from budget reports. We’ll keep listening to feedback here for future reporting and permissions improvements.

Hi all, we appreciate you describing how notes could support reviews and board discussions. Budgets in Analytics that's currently in early access release provides event descriptions and a history of adjustments, adding context to changes made during planning.
However, currently it doesn’t provide a free-form note on each budget line or cell. This is something we'd like to continue tracking interest from our communiy in, here.

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your support for this idea. We understand how a quick, built-in calculator could make tax calculations easier while working in Xero Tax.
For now, as shared by some in feedback here there are some external tools that could possible help some.
We want to be transparent that an in-built calculator tools is not in our roadmap.
We'll be sure to update this thread if that changes. Thanks again for your feedback.

Thank you for your feedback on this idea. To account for differing regulations and payroll features across regions we’ve split this idea into separate threads for AU, NZ, and UK.
We also wanted to highlight a related feature recently delivered: Payroll admins can now see an estimated leave balance when adding or approving future leave requests. The workflow prompts you if a request might result in a negative balance.
That said, we recognise there is a gap regarding the ability to set hard limits on how far negative a balance can go. While we understand how useful this control would be, setting specific negative leave limits is not on our immediate roadmap.
We’ll continue to monitor interest here and update this post if there is movement.

Thanks for your support and joining in this idea. We get the challenges involved in manually chasing up employees to complete timesheets each pay period.
Although it's not the integrated solution you’re looking for, you could look to set up recurring calendar events or using external communication tools to prompt your team members.
We want to be transparent that we don't have any plans for adjusting the existing notifications for timesheets.
We'll continue to monitor this idea, and should our priorities shift in the future we'll let everyone know here.

Thanks for the great discussion and all the votes on this idea. We know that without the ability to set specific leave approvers, it can be harder to keep governance clear, avoid self-approval and ensure requests go to the right person.
While we’re not planning to develop dedicated approval workflows in the near term, we want to share a tip that many have found useful. You can help streamline the process by guiding employees to select their direct manager from the approver list. While all payroll admins and leave approvers are listed, this step helps make sure requests reach the right person and keeps oversight clear.
Your feedback here is incredibly valuable for future planning and we’ll continue to keep an eye on this idea’s traction. We’ll keep it open for voting and will share any updates if plans change down the track.

Hey team, thanks for the continued support in this idea. We recognise the manual effort involved in consolidating tracking-category budgets, and while this remains outside our current roadmap we would like to share an update now that we have released new Budgets - Our new Analytics Budgets supports tracking category filters, but it doesn’t currently have the ability to roll separate tracking budgets into one master overall budget.
We understand the appetite here and will continue to review this idea in future planning.
If there are any changes we'll let you know here.
For now, some community members have kindly referenced third-party options that could be explored and may fulfil needs in this space.

Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback and for sharing your experiences with leave requests for employees who work non-standard hours.
Later this year, we plan to release the first stage of Working Patterns in AU Payroll.
This will allow users to set a one-week work pattern for each employee, which will automatically be used for leave and public holiday calculations in the pay run.
This initial release will establish the foundation for supporting a broader range of working patterns in the future, including more complex or changing schedules.
We’re moving this idea to Accepted while we explore how leave requests could work for these employees. Please continue sharing your specific scenarios, as they’ll help inform how we develop this functionality.

Thanks to everyone here for sharing your feedback, sorry we’ve not rounded back to this idea sooner.
While this was something our teams picked up some time back, unfortunately it was not a feature we were able to deliver with work done at that time.
Currently our product teams are focused on upcoming changes to New Zealand leave legislation, and prioritising required work.
Updates for Leave reports may be considered longer term, however at this time there’s nothing roadmapped.
Should there be any change to pick this back up in the future we’ll let you know here.

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing how important it is for your business to have monthly salaried employees complete timesheets for tracking and reporting purposes, without impacting pay run calculations.
Some of you have found workarounds like approving timesheets after processing pay runs, although this may create challenges down the line.
Our product team is currently undertaking a wider review of timesheets, and this idea will be included in that process. Therefore we're updating this idea to Accepted. We'll keep you updated if there are any developments on this.

Could we add a calculator button in the budget manager cell to do a calculation?
