2.9.2 Forecasting
Sometimes it's useful to know what your finances will look like in the
future, such as determining when an account will reach zero. Ledger
makes this easy to do, using the same period entries as are used for
budgeting. An example forecast report can be generated with:
ledger --forecast "T>{\$-500.00}" register ^assets ^liabilities
This report continues outputting transactions until the running
total is greater than $-500.00. A final transaction is always
output, to show you what the total afterwards would be.
Forecasting can also be used with the balance report, but by date
only, and not against the running total:
ledger --forecast "d<[2010]" bal ^assets ^liabilities
