No, the total will never change unless you change it. Splits were designed to make quick entry of a split transaction: 1. Create a transaction for $200 and assign to Groceries bucket 2. Decide to make it a split, click Create Split 3. Change the first amount to $150 (because that actually what was spent on groceries) 4. Set the next line bucket to Education and change the amount to $30 (what we spent on supplies) 5. The remaining line is now at $20, which is our cash back so we check the "cash only" checkbox The idea was to avoid as much math as possible and just allow you to enter the amount you spent on each successive bucket and let MoneyWell set the new line to the remainder. It's rare that I wouldn't know the total but would only know the breakdowns and want to put those in to add up to a total. I hope this makes sense.
