Credit Cards & Loans
Track credit card balances, loan payoffs, and how they affect your net worth.
Credit Cards in Cadence
Credit cards appear in the Net Worth section under Credit/Loans. If you have a synced credit card, Cadence automatically tracks your balance. Manual credit card accounts can also be added.
Tracking Your Balance
Your credit card balance updates automatically with synced accounts. For manual accounts, update the balance periodically to keep your net worth accurate. Balance history is charted over time so you can see trends.
Credit Card Payments
When you make a credit card payment from a synced bank account, both the payment (from your bank) and the balance reduction (on the card) are reflected. See the Transfers & Payments article for how Cadence prevents double-counting.
Loans
Track mortgages, car loans, student loans, and other debts in Net Worth → Credit/Loans. Add them as manual accounts with the current balance and update as you make payments. As your loan balance decreases, your net worth increases.
Paying Down Debt with Goals
Use the Goals feature to set a debt payoff target. Link it to a credit card or loan to track your progress. Cadence calculates whether you're on track based on your target date and current balance.
How Credit & Loans Affect Net Worth
Credit cards and loans are liabilities that subtract from your total net worth. The Net Worth chart shows how your liabilities change over time alongside your assets, giving you a clear picture of your financial progress.
