# How do I set spending limits for individual cards?

Halocard lets you enforce **custom spending limits** to control exactly how much can be spent on each of your Halocards. 

The different types of limits available include:

| Limit Type | Description |
| ---- |
| Per transaction | A single purchase cannot exceed the spend limit. Any purchase above this amount will be declined. |
| Time-based per day, per week, per month or per year | Multiple purchases during the time period cannot exceed the spend limit. Any purchases above this amount will be declined. |
| One-time use disposable card (coming soon) | A single purchase can be made on the card. The card will then be automatically cancelled. |

###### How time-based spending limits work

These limits doesn't reset on a fixed calendar date. Instead, they start the moment you **make a purchase**, and that purchase counts against your limit until the time window passes. For example, with a $100 daily limit:
* On Monday, you spend $60 and have $40 left to spend.
* 24 hours later on Tuesday, that $60 stops counting and your full $100 is available again.

If you have no recent purchases, your **next purchase begins a fresh limit period**. If you've already spent within the window, **any additional purchases are added to the existing total** and only stop counting once their own time window has passed.
