Set Up Your Income

Your sources of income are called "Pay Sources" in Budget. Pay sources specify the amount and frequency that you are paid, as well as what bank account the money will be deposited to. Pay source setup is done when a new budget is being created for the first time or whenever you want to add, remove, or change a pay source from the budget. See the About Income topic for more information.

To define a new pay source or change an existing pay source, use the Accounts > Pay Source Info... menu command to display the Pay Source window.

Click on the ADD button to create a new pay source.

Double-click on the name of the pay source to start editing the name. Double-click on the number in the amount column to change the amount of the pay.

Click on the FREQUENCY pop up menu to change how often you are payed.
