Currently, you can’t exclude incoming payments from Summary, but you can vote for that feature here:
However, I think an Income category would be better than the ability to exclude incoming payments from Summary for the following reasons:
-
Income transactions excluded from Summary would still need to be assigned a category, but the category is irrelevant because the transaction doesn’t count towards that category in Summary. This seems counterintuitive and it makes more logical sense to just have an income category.
-
It would be easier to find income in an Income category from Summary than it would to find income excluded from Summary, since you could just click on Summary and then click on the Income category. This also makes sense from a UX point of view, since a user who knows how to view all the transactions in a category would expect the same UX from an Income category.
-
It’s easier to view the category of a transaction than it is to see if it’s excluded from Summary. To view the category you just click on the transaction in the feed and it’s there. To see if a transaction has been excluded from Summary, you have to click on the transaction and then scroll down.
NB: this is a really minor UX point, but loads of minor UX improvements add up to a great UX overall. -
If an Income category is created, you’d only have to assign your salary (or transfer from your main bank account) to the Income category once and it would be remembered for future transactions.
