Understanding how to set up income frequency, repeat intervals, and scheduling to accurately track your income in Zyclee.
Income frequency tells Zyclee how often you receive a particular income source. This is crucial for accurate budgeting and pay cycle calculations.
Income received every day
Best for very frequent, small income amounts
Income received every week
Common for hourly workers and weekly contractors
Income received every two weeks
Very common for regular employment
Income received once per month
Most common frequency for salaried employees
Income received once per year
For infrequent but predictable income
Repeat intervals let you customize how often an income repeats within its frequency. For example, "every 2 weeks" or "every 3 months."
Most income sources use interval 1 (standard frequency):
Use higher intervals for less frequent income:
Set the date when you first received (or will receive) this income. This becomes the reference point for all future payments.
Choose how often you receive this income: Daily, Weekly, Fortnightly, Monthly, or Annually.
Specify how many frequency periods between payments. Leave as 1 for standard frequencies, or increase for custom schedules.
If this income has a known end date (like a contract), set the transaction end date. Leave blank for ongoing income.

Use the exact date you receive income, not when you earn it. This ensures accurate cash flow tracking.
If your income schedule changes, update the frequency or end date to keep your projections accurate.
For variable income, use the lowest regular amount you expect. You can always add extra income when it comes in.
