Income from Earnings - Family Medical

Use the Average Calculator to prospectively budget income from earnings.

NOTE: All earned income needs to be entered into the Average Calculator to ensure correct calculations for actual amounts and prospective budgeting. The Average Calculator must have $0.00 for paychecks with no income; otherwise KEES tries to calculate an average for the missing check.

See the steps under Adding Income for help navigating to the Income Detail page.
