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()
