Add Transaction Cost Field

Budget Flow✨ Small Improvements

Would it be possible to add an optional "transaction cost" field when creating a new transaction? Most of my payments include fees (e.g. bank or transfer charges), and currently I have to create two separate entries — one for the actual expense and one for the fee.

Having this as part of the same transaction would streamline input and improve data accuracy. Ideally, the total debited (amount + fee) could also show up in summaries.

Thanks!

    Please implement this in a way so that it can also be used to split other transactions.

    Like when I get my wage, I‘d like it to show as a single Transaction, but when I click on it it should show more transactions and the different categories, like Insurances, Fitness bonuses, General Bonuses, royalties, etc.

    Another use case would be if I go shopping and purchase a lot of food, but also some electronic devices from the same store, Currently I‘m treating it like two separate transactions, to have the cost split into the different categories. I‘d prefer if it only showed as one with „mixed“ categories, or the main category, with a asterisk or sth. When searching for a category, it should still show up as being in that one, with maybe a small sign so you can see, that it is just part of a transaction.

    Another use case: when buying certain „lottery tickets“ from my bank, they deposit part of it in a savings account and use part of it for the lottery cost. I also have that as two separate transactions and am always annoyed when other transactions get placed in between them. I could get around by adding a time to both, but having them in one transaction would be even cleaner.

    Thank you!
