Savings Tracker for Notion: Free Ways to Track Your Money Goals (2026)

October 31, 2026

As of October 2026, Blocs does not yet offer a single-purpose "savings tracker" widget, but you can track savings goals in Notion right now using two existing Blocs widgets: the free Habit Tracker (for building a consistent saving habit) and the Pro Progress Bar (for visualizing progress toward a dollar goal). Best for anyone who wants a visual, no-formula way to see savings progress inside Notion. Key facts: the Habit Tracker is free with no sign-up, the Progress Bar is part of the $17 one-time Blocs Pro unlock (not a subscription), and both embed as a simple iframe block in under a minute.

Key Takeaways

• Blocs doesn't have a dedicated savings tracker widget yet. It's on the roadmap, and the Progress Bar and Habit Tracker widgets currently cover the core use case.
• The Habit Tracker is free and works well for tracking a recurring savings habit (e.g., "save $10 today").
• The Progress Bar widget (Blocs Pro, $17 one-time) is better for a single goal amount, like "$2,000 for a trip."
• Both embed directly into a Notion page with a link-to-page block, no database setup or formulas required.
• Blocs Pro unlocks custom goal values, unlimited habits, and analytics for $17 one-time, no subscription.

What is a savings tracker for Notion?

A savings tracker for Notion is any tool, template, or widget that shows how close you are to a money goal directly inside your Notion workspace. Most people build this manually with a database and rollup formulas, or embed a visual widget that updates as you check off progress, avoiding the need to maintain spreadsheet-style formulas.

The manual database approach (a table with "Target," "Saved," and a formula calculating percentage) is flexible but takes setup time and breaks easily if you reformat the database. A widget embed skips that setup entirely, which is why many Notion users search for a pre-built option instead.

How can you track a savings goal in Notion right now?

Use the Blocs Progress Bar widget for a single dollar goal (like an emergency fund or vacation fund) or the Habit Tracker widget for a recurring saving habit. Both are embeddable Notion widgets that update visually without any database formulas, and they cover the two most common ways people frame a savings goal.

Option 1: Visualize a dollar goal with the Progress Bar

If your goal is a specific number ("$3,000 by December"), the Progress Bar widget lets you set a custom target and current value, then displays a visual bar as you update it. This is a Blocs Pro feature.

Option 2: Build a saving habit with the Habit Tracker

If your goal is behavioral ("save something every day this month"), the free Habit Tracker widget works like a streak tracker: check off each day you set money aside and watch the streak build. It's the same mechanism people use for workouts or reading goals, repurposed for savings.

This same streak-based approach is covered in more depth in our guide to goal-tracking Notion widgets and our Habit Tracker widget breakdown.

Is there a dedicated savings tracker widget?

Not yet. A purpose-built savings tracker (with currency selection, multiple savings jars, and contribution logging) is on Blocs' roadmap, but as of October 2026 it isn't available. Until then, the Progress Bar and Habit Tracker widgets are the closest fit and are already live.

Which method should you use?

Choose based on whether your goal is a fixed dollar target or a daily/weekly habit. The table below compares the main options for tracking savings in Notion.

Method	Setup time	Cost	Best for
Manual Notion database + formulas	20-40 minutes	Free	People who want full custom fields (categories, multiple accounts)
Blocs Habit Tracker	Under 1 minute	Free	Daily/weekly saving habits, streaks
Blocs Progress Bar	Under 1 minute	$17 one-time (Blocs Pro)	A single dollar goal with a visual bar
Dedicated savings tracker widget	N/A	Coming soon	Multiple savings jars with currency logic

What's included free vs. Pro?

The Habit Tracker is free with default settings and no sign-up required. Blocs Pro ($17 one-time, not a subscription) adds the Progress Bar widget, custom goal values, unlimited habits, weekly/monthly analytics, theme customization, and removes Blocs branding. See the full breakdown on the pricing page.

FAQs

Not a dedicated one as of October 2026. Blocs currently supports savings goals through its Progress Bar widget (for dollar targets) and Habit Tracker widget (for saving habits), with a purpose-built savings tracker planned for the future.

Can I track savings in Notion for free?

Yes. The Habit Tracker widget is free with no sign-up and works well for tracking a recurring savings habit, like putting aside money daily or weekly and marking it off.

How do I embed a savings widget in Notion?

Copy the widget URL (e.g., blocs.me/habit-tracker), paste it into a Notion page, and select "Create embed" when the link preview appears. No code or database setup is needed.

No. Blocs Pro is a $17 one-time payment that unlocks lifetime access to all widgets, including the Progress Bar, Countdown Timer, and Calendar, as detailed on the pricing page.
