BEFORE YOU START

The Salary Planner brings planning information together.

Instead of treating every commitment as a separate plan, MoniTrak combines relevant information from across your workspace into one monthly view.

✓

Planned income provides the amount available for the month

✓

Fixed commitments represent planned recurring obligations

✓

Credit card commitments can contribute amounts from your cards

✓

Recurring commitments can contribute scheduled forecast activity

STEP BY STEP

Let's get it set up.

01

Start with your planned income

Planned income provides the starting point for the month. MoniTrak can then compare that amount with the commitments associated with the same planning period.

Planned income is used as the starting point for the Salary Planner. It is separate from the recorded income shown in your transaction report.

02

See where your commitments come from

The Salary Planner brings together different types of commitments so you can understand what is expected to use your planned income.

Review the monthly plan

The planner compares planned income with total commitments and shows whether income is sufficient to cover the current plan.
