[No Thirst Software] Re: Salary Rollover
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.

[No Thirst Software] Re: Salary Rollover
Hi, I have part sussed it: I was showing future transactions and my June salary was being included in this month's Salary bucket, along with what was left over from May. I have another minor issue though, I was sure that my Salary bucket contained my exact Salary before it rolled over and it now contains a slightly higher amount, but I cannot work out how it is calculated. Could you please advise exactly how this figure is calculated? I think I may have adjusted my starting cash flow and I have got a bit lost with it all now! Many thanks Craig.

[No Thirst Software] Re: Salary Rollover
Hi Kevin, Thank you for your prompt response! I did not allocate early, no, I left the money in my Salary bucket from the 25th to today. When I opened MoneyWell today all the expense buckets reflected the new negative values as I would expect, but my Salary bucket almost doubled. It seems to have added the figure I had in the bucket to my monthly salary, and the figure that was in the bucket has been treated as left over from May. I have exited and restarted MoneyWell a few times and nothing changes. Does this shed any light? Many thanks Craig.

Hi Craig, I'm a bit confused too. So did you allocate early using the Allocate Income option? If you did, then your buckets will get filled so you can start paying bills now instead of waiting until the first of the month. Once you use this option, you need to keep it set to that day range or MoneyWell will be confused about last months allocations and how they affect this month. One other thing you can try is to exit and restart MoneyWell. It's possible that the new month didn't get refreshed properly.
