Steps

How to do it

Create your income entry

Add name, amount, type, and frequency so Dollaroodle can normalize it monthly.

Use the impact preview

Watch per-paycheck and monthly values update before saving.

Review your income table

Compare entered amount, per-paycheck value, and normalized monthly value.

Edit or remove outdated entries

Keep old contracts, roles, or side-income entries up to date for clean forecasts.

Tips

Name by source

Use explicit names like "Primary Salary" and "Weekend Freelance".

Check frequency carefully

Most planning errors happen when the amount is right but the frequency is wrong.
