Adding income

How would you add income if one spouse gets paid once a month and the other spouse gets paid twice a month?

Each income transaction is a separate line item. In this case, I would create a monthly transaction for the single paycheck, but the twice monthly will depend on whether it’s two specific dates or every two weeks.
If it’s biweekly, just create a repeating transaction for every two weeks. If it’s the 1st and the 15th, for example, create two monthly transactions, one for each date. (You’ll now have three different repeating income entries in your ledger.)
You can also have multiple Fill instructions if you wish, so you could fill different envelopes with each deposit. If you already have a one-month buffer, I’d recommend putting your income into the Unallocated envelope and using that to fill at the start of the following month.
Hope this helps!

I feel like there’s more to this question than simply recording income transactions. What do you mean by “add income”?
