Hello,
We do apologize for the extreme delay in answering this topic.
For adding different income sources, please make sure to give different budget name or category for each budget item. Creating two identical budget category is not possible as the system will overwrite the previous existing budget. Mint will prompt you with a message box when doing so.
I would suggest creating custom budget categories. See the images below for guide.
1. When creating a budget, select the main category then select the option to Add/Edit Categories
2. The next page gives you the option to Add a new category
3. Type in your own category, then Save it. Click Okay to go back to Set a Budget page.
Additional Notes:
Currently there seems to be a bug in the Set Income Budget page. Every month is defaulted and cannot be unselected. We are already looking into fixing this issue.
There is also an idea topic opened, requesting Variable Income Budgeting. Our product team is keeping an eye on Idea topics such as that one and is continually taking users' ideas into consideration.
Have a great day!

Is this resolved yet? Another thread commenter suggested logging out and back in to update the income budget items. This isn't working for me. I

sad
Are there plans to add roll-over to income budgets?
Are there plans to add a payroll transaction that will allow user to identify taxes, benefits and more importantly 401-k contributions? -

If you want to add the income into your budget, first you need to click on the tab called BUDGET. Next (this is also very important) click on + CREATE A BUDGET. Next click on the CHOOSE A CATAGORY drop down box and choose INCOME (DO NOT CHOOSE A SUB CATAGORY you will do that later) select the AMOUNT (this is the total income you expect during the month from all catagories and sub catagories) click SAVE .................. Now you can select your sub-catagories for income..... Once again click on +CREATE A BUDGET from the dropdown box list highlight INCOME and then choose a sub-catagory such as bonus, paycheck, rental income and choose amount of monthly income and click save when done. -
