One way comes to mind without much thinking about it:

On the payslip entry, Gross Pay tab, enter the gross as not the gross, but
the gross minus the net. Add another line on the Gross Pay tab for the net
pay balance. Then budget, et al., to the category you used for the net pay.

This may have other consequences. (It certainly would with the Tax Estimator
and Lifetime Planner in the US version.) Your best bet is probably to suck
it up and accept that you are budgeting gross income and the expenses taken
out between there and the net.

How do I get the payslip total to register as the net pay? I am
working with the budget and have set up my net pay there but because I
use the pay slip function to record my pay, there is no corresponding
net pay coming through. Therefore, the comparison reports are not
correct (zero in net pay).

I don't really want to set up my budget based on my gross pay as I'd
rather keep my payslip deductions out of the budget equation. I
wanted all the payslip detail so I could report and reconcile this
info separately.

I hope this makes some sort of sense.

I'm using an OEM Australian Edition 2004.

Thank you
