Day-to-day
You typically won’t be spending much time with the incomes in your spreadsheet after they have
been added other than entering deposits. Possible reasons for editing an income are different for
predictable and unpredictable incomes. Here are a couple examples:
Predictable income
Change in pay - There are two ways to change the expected amount for a predictable
income. Which you use depends on whether the change takes effect immediately or later.
● For an immediate change, edit the income to change the net pay amount.
● For later, add a future amount change to the income.
Job change
● Edit your current income to change how long the income will last to the date after
when you will receive your last paycheck.
● Add your new income with the pay period end date from your first pay period at
your new job.
Permanent hourly schedule change
● Clone the income.
● Edit the original income to change how long the income will last to the date after
when you will receive your last paycheck under the old schedule.
● Edit the cloned income to change the work schedule. Set the pay period end date
to the end of your first pay period with the new schedule.
● After your last paycheck from the old schedule is deposited, edit the original
income to uncheck
