It hasn't been solved because it's not one problem. People have different wants and needs and expectations and banks and tax codes and tolerances for entering data, and are lazy when it comes to testing existing options. Why spend hours searching and signing up for trials and learning new UIs when they know how to make a spreadsheet that does what they want?

I've not used any software that helps solve that problem in an elegant way, and maybe I'm just minimizing the problem, but it seems like every path to answering that question is simple arithmetic provided you know what other expenses you have in addition to X.
