Take steps toward creating your household budget by totaling up your monthly income

If you want to create a functioning budget for your family and enjoy financial peace of mind, you have to know where your money comes from first. Record the income information for you and the rest of your household using Nolo's Monthly Income form and take a concrete step toward the right budget for you and your family.

Plus, you'll receive instructions for how to figure out your average monthly income if your income varies from month to month.  With Nolo's Monthly Income form, you'll be able to clearly list and total up all sources of family income, including:

• jobs for which you receive a salary or wages
• self-employment income, including sales commissions
• investment income
• miscellaneous sources of income, including bonuses, alimony, child support, a pension, retirement income, and public assistance

This form was designed to be used along with Nolo's Daily Expenses form and Nolo's Monthly Budget form to create your household's budget.
