Variable Income Budget

Builds budgets for freelancers, gig workers, and commission earners with irregular monthly income.

Download Murage

Free and open source. macOS, Windows and Ubuntu.

Try it

Add the skill to a bot, then ask your Chief of Staff:

“Use the Variable Income Budget skill on this: [describe the job, or paste your notes].”

The baseline income is the single most important number in this entire framework. It is the floor you can budget against with confidence. Getting it wrong in either direction is costly: too high and you overspends in bad months; too low and they systematically underspend and build unnecessary anxiety.
