The bill calendar: what falls due, day by day

Rent on the 5th, insurance on the 12th, payday on the 28th: you know your bills and income, but not always how they follow one another. Arca’s Calendar lays them out on a month grid, each on the day it falls, with what’s settled, what’s still to settle and what was missed.

It isn’t a cash calendar: it shows no balance. What your account will become day after day is what Upcoming cash tells you — the cash calendar has its own guide.

Where to find it

In the sidebar, right under Scheduled;
on a phone, under “More”;
from the “Upcoming” card on the Overview;
at the address /calendar — the old one, /schedule?vue=calendrier, leads there too.

The arrows in the top bar change the month; “Today” brings you back.

Six marks

Each occurrence of a schedule carries a mark:

Paid — a transaction settles it;
Due — it falls today;
Missed — its date has passed and nothing settled it; it stays visible in past months, not only the current one;
Upcoming — its date hasn’t come yet;
Scheduled — a transaction dated in the future already settles it, but the money hasn’t left yet;
Income — an occurrence of an income schedule; this mark sits on top of the others, and missed income stays missed.

A day’s total

A day carrying at least one planned expense shows the sum of those not paid yet. Your income doesn’t count, and neither do transfers between your accounts: money that changes accounts isn’t spent. Added up over the month, the days give exactly the first of the four figures at the top.

The four figures for the month on screen

Above the grid, four figures sum up the month on screen, not necessarily the current one: changing the month changes them too. They are the grid’s marks, added up, without income or transfers.

The first one changes name with the month: Left to pay for the current month, Missed for a past month, To pay for a month ahead.
Paid: what’s already settled.
Expected in followed by the month’s name: the two previous ones together.
Next month: everything the following month has planned.

In the current month, what was missed before it is shown separately.

The day panel

Choosing a day opens its panel: the number of schedules it carries and their net total — paid ones, income and transfers included, unlike the day’s cell —, then each schedule with the same actions as Scheduled — post it, skip it, edit it, complete it or delete it —, without leaving the page; last, the transactions recorded that day, transfers excluded, each with its amount. With a keyboard, the left and right arrows change the day, up and down the week, Page Up and Page Down the month.

What it doesn’t show

No projected balance — that’s Upcoming cash’s job — and no live bank balance: Arca connects to no bank. The day’s cell, for its part, no longer adds up the day’s already-settled spending. It used to show it next to the schedules, in the same type and with no legend: on the demo month, fourteen of the fifteen days carrying an amount showed nothing but past transactions. Those transactions are still listed in the day panel, and the register is still their real home; the grid only talks about schedules.

A view usually tucked away

Checked on October 12, 2026:

Rocket Money keeps its calendar inside the “Recurring” tab, next to the “Upcoming” and “All” lists; on the web, it’s for Premium members only. Its “Payday View” — in the mobile app only, after three paychecks are detected at a steady cadence — lists the bills due before your next payday.
Monarch added a calendar view to its recurring tracking in 2022, placing the month’s upcoming transactions.
Copilot Money shows its recurrings as a list or a grid; its help describes no calendar.
YNAB has no article about a calendar in its help index. On toolkit-for-ynab, the community extension, a request for a calendar view opened on July 19, 2021 was closed on August 29, 2021 without being built.

Arca made the same choice at first: the calendar was a view of Scheduled, behind a toggle. It now has a page of its own.
