FAQ· Straight answers

Before you start.

Still unsure? Write to hello@variablemoney.com

What counts as what I got paid?

Everything your work paid you that month, after taxes. Two payments in one month both count in that month.

Is "floor" a real financial term?

Yes. Planners call it an income floor: the money you can count on for the basics. Our part is how to measure it when your pay changes: your slowest three months in a row, averaged.

How many months do I need?

Twelve gives you your real floor. You can start with three: your floor shows up in month 3 and adjusts every month until you have a full year.

Do I need to give you my email?

No. You see your floor first. The email is only for the worksheets.

Is this financial advice?

No. It's education, with math you can check by hand. For your own taxes or investments, talk to a licensed professional.
