Problem
The Cash Flow (Sankey) chart shows totals for the selected period (30D, 90D, 365D, …). For a household budget view, yearly or quarterly bills (internet, insurance, taxes, car service) either show up as spikes in short periods or need mental division in long ones. The question I actually want answered is: what does a typical month cost us, and where does a typical month's income go?
Proposal
Add an "Average per month" option to the Cash Flow widget, e.g. a toggle, or period choices like "Avg / month: 3M · 6M · 12M":
This makes recurring but infrequent costs visible at their real monthly weight (e.g. a ~1'000/year internet bill shows as ~85/month instead of a spike in one month), and makes the chart directly usable for "cost of living per month" discussions in a household.
Notes
I'm running this locally as a small add-on that reuses the dashboard's existing Sankey builder with a custom period of the last N full months and divides the values by N, so it fits the current data model without new queries. It has been very useful for us, so I wanted to share the idea.
