ZeroBudget guide

How to keep track of your interest-free installments (MSI)

Interest-free installment purchases (called MSI in Mexico) are easy to lose track of: each payment lands on a different statement and several purchases pile up.

What's worth tracking

How ZeroBudget does it

You log the purchase once and mark it as installments. The app creates each monthly payment in the period it belongs to, based on your card's closing date.

On the card screen, the Pending installments section shows each purchase with how many payments you've made, how many months remain and how much is left to pay.

One detail so you're not surprised

The monthly payments of your installment plans count toward what you'll pay each period. That's why it helps to see them together with the rest of your purchases, not separately.
