I have sussed the different Salary amount too: I added up the value of all the money flows from my Salary bucket for May and deducted this figure from the amount carried over from April. That left £11.74 which was the difference I was looking for; there was a spurious money flow that shouldn't have been there...
Anyway, all sorted now! My Salary bucket had my exact salary figure and I allocated my income perfectly. I am really pleased and now have a much better understanding of how MoneyWell works! Craig.
