Paycheck Planning: Uneven Splits

Chris Rittenhouse

I would like to see a feature where I could plan different amounts under the same budgeting item throughout the month.   Currently, if I set 4 different dates for subscriptions to be billed under Paycheck Planning, all dollars are split evenly among those dates.  I would like to be able to schedule (for example) $13 on the 3rd, $25 on the 11th, $40 on the 15th and $26 on the 20th.  Thanks much!

    I was just about to make a post about this. This would be very helpful. Sometimes I have to add unnecessary dates so that my risk of overspending stays low but I have the money I need when I need it. For example I like to put my money in savings at the end of the month but I have a feature through my bank account that puts the extra “change” from a purchase in my savings account. So I need a small amount in my safe to spend up front, but the majority of the budgeted amount later. As it is I either just look at a red budget item, which I don’t like, or add a ton of extra dates to try and balance it out. This happens for other expenses as well, this is just the most common for me.

    YES PLEASE!!!!! Especially when paying off debt, sometimes my payment is DUE one date and I plan to pay extra at a later date. I am having to do a whole separate spreadsheet to track what I pay on each check since I can't properly allocate funds for each pay period.

    Agreed. I make 3 mortgage payments a month, the monthly due, and then two extra payments. I hate having three line items for this. Mortgage, Extra Mortgage 1, Extra Mortgage 2. It’s very annoying to have to change the “recommended” budget item every single time based off of the last payment made.

    This is an issue for multiple budget line items where the amount spent isn’t exactly the same each time.

    Agreed. Not to mention that “safe to spend” will only show up the day you have the paycheck planning amount set to be allocated. Right now, I have to add multiple days in a row for paycheck planning to have an uneven split. Safe to spend will be delayed in that situation.
