What is the best way to add a one-time income budget?

Edit Subject

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.

I don't see where the down and up arrows are. Mint will *only* allow me to set up a bonus for every month. If it were every month, it probably wouldn't be a bonus then, would it?

Click on TRANSACTIONS on tabs. Once at your transactions click +ADD A TRANSACTION Enter date and discription. Now click on the drop down box for CATAGORY. select INCOME and you can leave it as income or choose a sub-catagory such as BONUS, INTREST INCOME, PAYCHECK ect or you can create your own sub-catagory.
Next and this is IMPORTANT... the large box that is under the date, discription, catagory. You will see the word TYPE ... choose one of the three choices.. cash, check, pending . After making you choice on the same line make sure you click on the small circle next to INCOME (THIS IS IMPORTANT OR YOUR TRANSACTION WILL SHOW AS A NEGATIVE NUMBER.) then choose I'M DONE at the bottom of the box .

I am trying to do this, but anytime that I press save it doesn't save it.

12 months later, where are the improvements to one time budgets?

This is pretty ridiculous - it's so easy to set a one-time or every-few-months expense, so why can't we have the same options for income? I'm a grad student paid on a quarterly stipend and it's not possible to input this income.

I really wish you folks would get this working! I want an actual full budget for 2012, and this requires I am able to add two yearly additions to our income. I cannot get this to work, no matter the browser I use!

Please, please fix this issue! Many people do not get paid on a monthly basis, and while biweekly paychecks are easy enough to convert to a monthly income, those of us who earn chunks of money less frequently than once a month (such as graduate students and anyone working on commission) find it incredibly hard to use Mint's budgeting feature. This is a serious flaw in the system, and supposedly the Mint team has been working on a fix for over a year. Please work on this ASAP!

What is the status of resolving this problem? I need to be able to enter quarterly bonuses.

Aysa... you indicated a year ago that you were looking into this. This is a real problem for self employed people with variable and intermittent income. Do you know what the status of this issue is?

Thanks
