That is the only way I figured out how to do it. Also interested calculation
on something like a home equity line. That calculates the interest on the
average balance on a current day of the month. I just estmiate and put it
in as a recuring charge.

If your income is relatively fixed, you can set a recurring transaction for
the amount. You also can set the recurring transaction to 'estimate', but
you have to enter the correct amount each time you record the actual event.

All versions give you lots of ability to identify the earnings amount. None
let you specify a recurring transaction amount as some function, in this
case a percentage, thereof. There's always Calculator or Excel.

Some Excel-like grammar to define recurring transaction amounts as a
function of data already in the file has long been on many Money wish lists.
The Money team hasn't seen fit to fulfill that wish.

But Money 05/6 does provide you with related links, displayed on every
account register page, to get a great deal on a home equity loan.

Its not in any version of Money, it's something which people have often
asked for, as it's useful for calculating pension contributions etc where a
set amount of salary is put aside for such a purpose.

Why it's not there, well maybe not enough people have asked, or the Money
team don';t want to put it in.

I know I'm using a very old version but a brief search seems to suggest that
the situation has not changed much since from 2001 so I'll still ask this
question.

Why does Microsoft Money not have a built in way of calculating tithe? I'm
sure I'm not the only person left in the world that still believes that the
first 10% of earnings should be given away (to God or whoever you believe it
should go to). Is there a good way of calculating this in Money? All I want
is an option that you can select which will total the total net income each
month and calculate 10% of this value.

Is this likely to be included in a new edition of Money, if so I'd consider
upgrading?
