Python Budget Program Source Code

        self.uservalue()

    def uservalue(self):
        valoutput = self.income - self.expenses
        if valoutput < 0:
            print('You are in the negative, you have a deficit of ' + '$' + str(valoutput))
        if valoutput == 0:
            print('You have broken even, you are spending exactly as much as you make.')
        if valoutput > 0:
            print('You are in the positive, you have a surplus of ' + '$' + str(valoutput))
        another = input('Would you like to run another analysis? [y/n]: ')
        if another == 'y':
            self.reset_program()
        else:
            self.close_program()

    def reset_program(self):
        self.income = 0
        self.expenses = 0
        del self.expense_list[0:]
        del self.expense_name[0:]
        del self.income_name[0:]
        del self.income_list[0:]
        self.prompt_income()

    def close_program(self):
        print('Exiting Program.')
        sys.exit(0)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    Application()

Above is the python code for a budget program. Copy the code and paste it into your python file and run the file in your compiler or use an online compiler.

This is a command line program below is the code output of the python budget program

Output


Add income? [y/n]: y
Enter source of income. [Numbers Only]: 1000
Enter income name. [Name Only]: Job
Add income? [y/n]: y
Enter source of income. [Numbers Only]: 200
Enter income name. [Name Only]: Real estate
Add income? [y/n]: n
Job:  $1000
Real estate:  $200
Total user income:  $1200
Add expense? [y/n]: y
Enter expense amount. [Numbers Only]: 400
Enter expense name. [Name Only]: Groceries
Add expense? [y/n]: y
Enter expense amount. [Numbers Only]: 200
Enter expense name. [Name Only]: Recharge
Add expense? [y/n]: n
Groceries:  $400
Recharge:  $200
Total user expenses:  $600
You are in the positive, you have a surplus of $600
Would you like to run another analysis? [y/n]: n
Exiting Program.

First it will ask you to add your income source and income you need to type y or n you need to enter y to enter your income after that it will ask you how much is your income and what is the name of the income.

You can add as many income sources after you need to at least add one to continue after that it will ask you to enter your expenses.

Finally, it will calculate your expenses and income and tell you your budget and if you are overspending. You can create another budget report if not, it will end the program.
