Adding your income in the AdviceCafé app
On the Finances page, the Income section is where you add all of your household’s sources of take-home pay. Take-home pay is income after taxes and other deductions, such as insurance, group retirement plan, etc.
Note: Take-home pay is not the same as your total salary. Only add the net amount of what you receive as income in your bank account each month.Tip: If your source(s) of income is inconsistent month-to-month, use an estimated yearly number and adjust the frequency to annual. Tip: If your income consists of a base salary, plus bonuses or commission throughout the year, enter each amount separately.
