Personal Finance Tracker in Python

Here’s a basic implementation:

pythonCopy codeclass FinanceTracker:
    def __init__(self):
        self.income = []
        self.expenses = []

    def add_income(self, amount, source):
        self.income.append({'amount': amount, 'source': source})
        print(f"Added income: ${amount} from {source}")

    def add_expense(self, amount, category):
        self.expenses.append({'amount': amount, 'category': category})
        print(f"Added expense: ${amount} for {category}")

    def total_income(self):
        return sum(item['amount'] for item in self.income)

    def total_expenses(self):
        return sum(item['amount'] for item in self.expenses)

    def balance(self):
        return self.total_income() - self.total_expenses()

    def summary(self):
        print("\n--- Financial Summary ---")
        print(f"Total Income: ${self.total_income()}")
        print(f"Total Expenses: ${self.total_expenses()}")
        print(f"Balance: ${self.balance()}\n")
        print("Income Details:")
        for item in self.income:
            print(f"- ${item['amount']} from {item['source']}")
        print("Expense Details:")
        for item in self.expenses:
            print(f"- ${item['amount']} for {item['category']}")

def main():
    tracker = FinanceTracker()

    while True:
        print("1. Add Income")
        print("2. Add Expense")
        print("3. Show Summary")
        print("4. Exit")
        choice = input("Choose an option: ")

        if choice == '1':
            amount = float(input("Enter income amount: "))
            source = input("Enter income source: ")
            tracker.add_income(amount, source)
        elif choice == '2':
            amount = float(input("Enter expense amount: "))
            category = input("Enter expense category: ")
            tracker.add_expense(amount, category)
        elif choice == '3':
            tracker.summary()
        elif choice == '4':
            print("Exiting the finance tracker.")
            break
        else:
            print("Invalid choice. Please try again.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
