Micro Project Proposal

Aims/Benefits of the Micro-Project:

Managing personal or business finances effectively is essential for financial stability. The Expense Tracker project
helps users record and monitor their daily expenses and income efficiently. Users can categorize their transactions,
set budgets, and analyze spending patterns over time. The system provides a user-friendly interface to log
transactions, generate reports, and visualize financial data using charts. This project ensures better financial
planning, helps users control unnecessary expenditures, and promotes savings by offering insights into spending
habits.
1.0 Rationale
Managing expenses manually can be time-consuming and prone to errors, leading to financial
mismanagement. Many individuals and small businesses struggle to track their income and spending
efficiently, often relying on spreadsheets or paper records. The Expense Tracker project addresses this
issue by providing an online platform where users can effortlessly log their transactions, categorize
expenses, and generate reports. With real-time tracking and insightful analytics, this system helps users
make informed financial decisions, avoid overspending, and improve their budgeting habits.

2.0 Aim /Benefits of Micro-Project:

1.0 To provide a digital platform for tracking daily expenses and income.
2.0 To help users categorize and analyze their spending habits efficiently

3.0 Course Outcomes Addressed:

1. Develop a program using control statements for managing financial transactions. (CO605.1)
2. Perform operations on arrays to store and manipulate expense data efficiently. (CO605.2)
3. Use form controls with validation to securely collect and process user input. (CO605.4)
4. Perform database operations in PHP to store, retrieve, and analyze expense records. (CO605.5)

4.0 Literature Review:

In today’s digital era, financial management is becoming increasingly important for individuals and
businesses alike. People often struggle to track their daily expenses and income manually, leading to
financial mismanagement and overspending. Traditional methods, such as maintaining paper records or
using spreadsheets, are inefficient and prone to errors. Existing expense tracking solutions often require
users to input data manually, making the process time-consuming. Additionally, many applications come
with complex interfaces or subscription fees, limiting accessibility. To address these issues, the Expense
Tracker system is designed to provide a simple, efficient, and automated way to record transactions,
categorize expenses, and generate financial reports. By offering an easy-to-use and free alternative, this
system helps users gain better control over their finances and make informed decisions.
 5.0 Methodology followed
5.1 Step wise work done:
1. In this micro-project, the first step was selecting an appropriate topic for development.
2. We decided on our topic, i.e., “Expense Tracker.”
3. We conducted a literature survey to understand existing financial tracking solutions and identified the need
for a simple, efficient expense management system.
4. We gathered relevant information on financial management techniques and the requirements for developing
an effective expense tracker.
5. We designed and implemented the PHP-based Expense Tracker system, incorporating features like
transaction recording, categorization, and report generation.
6. We analyzed and tested the system to ensure functionality, usability, and accuracy in tracking expenses.
7. By following these steps, we successfully completed our micro-project.
