I use YNAB, and have savings accounts for home maintenance. I contribute to it each month, and then when I have an expense in the home maintenance category, I categorize it as outgoing from that category. Another way to think about it might be a sub account in a way that rolls up further into your budget.

Thanks for the response!

I’ve tried YNAB, and it didn’t really work for me. There are a few things that I like to look at on a monthly basis that YNAB doesn’t do. Spreadsheets work best for me at this point.

You can export YNAB data but I get it no everyone one wants to pay too. They are both zero based budgeting though.

Either way you replicate a similar process. I think Wereworlddad found the root of your issue and what was throwing you off and that should fix it.
