I get paid on the last day of the month , sometimes it hits on the 28ht or 29th. I want to designate this money to be utilized int he next month budget rather than the current month.
I would like to see a INCOME: NEXT MONTH category that push a July 28 paycheck to income for August
YNAB was able to do this and it works very well
@kyrias commented on GitHub (Jul 21, 2023):
What would the advantage be over using the "hold for next month" functionality?
@faspina commented on GitHub (Jul 21, 2023):
If my paycheck clears on Jun 29th or Jun 30th , I won't use that money in June. It will be budgeted for July expenses. As a result July budget show actual income allocated for July
@kyrias commented on GitHub (Jul 21, 2023):
If you use the "hold for next month" feature then while it'll show up in the income category in June, because that's when you actually received it, it won't be available for budget purposes until July.

@faspina
Here is screenshot showing you the button, illustrative only I had no more income to send to next month!

And here is the current documentation that included this feature (scroll down a bit):

Very similar to YNAB 4 but more flexible
@faspina commented on GitHub (Jul 21, 2023):
I got it working, thanks
@darthlite commented on GitHub (Dec 8, 2023):
Related question I guess: Aside from manually inputting a new date, is there a way to get this month's income to show up as next month's income in reports and such?
If I receive income towards the end of November, but use it to budget for December, I would like to compare it to December's expenses.
Problem with changing the date is it messes up the transactions and account syncing.
@faspina commented on GitHub (Dec 8, 2023):
I don't like the HOLD for next month option because I do have etra money after budget that I want to alocate to envelops but this amount is a paycheck. I like the idea of doing this at the transaction level , a tag that says use this next month maybe. With a stead y pay check every 30 of the month it would just be easier to do it this way
@shawalli commented on GitHub (Aug 15, 2024):
I really like the way YNAB does it, where you can either assign a transaction to "Income: this month" or "Income: next month". The reason I like this approach better than the "hold" method is I don't need to do any math or special tricks to figure out how much money it available in the current or next month to budget. Additionally, when looking backward, you can easily see which income transactions are siloed into which months, rather than a floating level of money.
Having used AB for about 6 months now, it is one of the two features I still long for, because it makes the income management process dead-simple (at least as a user; I make no claims as to how it would be implemented behind the scenes).

What about a 2 incomes household? I'm get paid on the 29th, but my husband is paid the 2nd. So I can't use hold for next month as it won't solve the problem. I would like as @faspina to have the setting at a transaction level.
