EveryDollar defaults to two "Income" budget items (Paycheck 1 and Paycheck 2), but you may need to add more income sources or paychecks.
Follow the instructions below to add more "Income" Budget Items:
- Locate the "Income" group in the budget
- Navigate to the bottom of the "Income" group
- Click Add Income
- Type the name of the income Budget Item within the "Item Name" field
- Type the amount you plan to receive in "Planned"
Your changes are saved automatically. The new amount added to your income is ready to be budgeted!
Pro Tip: Any money that comes into your household (money from a garage sale, birthday cash, refunds, etc.) can be considered income. It doesn't have to be payroll money.
Next Steps
If you add income, the best place to put it is either toward a savings goal or you can add it to your current Baby Step like paying off debt.
