covers taxes + goals
Income figure is your monthly gross pulled live from the income model. Remaining = gross minus all personal budget items. Remember taxes, giving, investing, and business costs still come out of the remaining — this view shows coverage, not take-home. Adjust line items to match actuals as they change.
