Record an income
One-off or recurring — and why it drives the "available" figure.
Incomes are personal
An income belongs to no budget. It serves you alone: knowing what is left available in the cycle.
The fields
- Name — "Salary, freelance, refund…"
- Amount — must be positive
- Date — in
YYYY-MM-DDformat - Recurring income — for a monthly salary
Why it is necessary
The available per day figure at the top of the home screen is computed from the cycle's income. With none recorded, the home screen says "No income this month" and projects nothing.
The income allocation bar — the one showing how much room budget objectives take — rests on the same data.
Recurring income
Recurring incomes follow the same rules as recurring expenses: a rule, derived occurrences. Editing, deleting, moving an occurrence to another date, and what a series divided in two looks like afterwards all work the same way — see that article for the detail.
Editing or deleting an occurrence asks for the scope: all of them, only this occurrence, or the following ones.
If you choose "This and future occurrences", the series becomes two independent parts. Later actions affect only the selected part. Boney explains this in the scope chooser, before the actions, for both editing and deletion: "This series has been changed into several parts. Your changes will apply only to this part." "All occurrences in this part" and "This occurrence and the following ones in this part" therefore concern only that part.
Deleting
Irreversible, behind a confirmation. "All of them" deletes every occurrence in the selected part.
