Savings Budget income section

Google Sheets

Hi Tiller Community!
My questions has to do with the Income section of the savings budget.
I budget all my main paycheck. The other paycheck I budget on the average. This is what my Income section looks like in the savings budget:
Savings Budget Actual Progress Available
-1,263.72 800 1,360.17 -703.55
-16,343.10 6664.92 6,664.96 -16,343.06

Why are there negative numbers? What does the progress section mean with the blue/red/green colors?
Thanks,
Kim

There are negative numbers because it’s pulling in a deficit from the previous month in your income and putting that in the Savings column. You can correct that using the Adjust Savings function. Alternatively, you can ask it not to track Savings for your Income categories through the Categories sheet.
