Can you show paycheck in Current Budget report?

kolath

I have Quicken Classic Premier on Windows. I am tracking gross pay splits and am using paycheck income reminders. I was able to set up my budget to use the "Paycheck" value so that I could view in the context of the budget just the net pay (rather than having to "budget" all the gross pay line items).

However, I cannot find any way to show the paycheck budget in the "Current Budget" report. I am trying to export the budget so I can do further manipulation and reporting in Excel. But the only option I seem to have is to export the underlying gross categories, but I didn't budget them; I only budgeted the "Paycheck".

Is this possible?

Hi @kolath,

Thank you for your response.

The budget report should display like this:

Could you please share a screenshot of how the Current Budget displays your paycheck category? If needed, please refer to this Community FAQ for instructions on how to attach a screenshot. Alternatively, you can also drag and drop screenshots to your response if you are not given the option to add attachments.

Additionally, please save a backup of your data file, then validate it to check for and repair any file issues that may be contributing to the crash:

Go to File
Select Validate and Repair File
Choose Validate File
Click OK

Once the validation is complete, please try exporting the report again and let us know the results.

Looking at some past threads via archive.org (side note: Why on earth are so many past forum threads deleted!? They show in google results but I keep having to look them up in snapshots in waybackmachine), it looks like the reports do not leverage reminders at all.

It was suggested to export to csv from the planning tab itself. However, trying to export the planning tab to csv CRASHES QUICKEN.

I found this thread from the past (again deleted): https://web.archive.org/web/20250325231534/https://community.quicken.com/discussion/7931839/printing-budgets-to-export-csv-crashes that describes that this was a bug in 2023!

Hi @kolath,

Thank you for your question.

You can configure the Current Budget report to display your net paycheck under your specific company name row, even when using the Paycheck Wizard with gross pay splits.

When you use the Paycheck Wizard, Quicken automatically creates a category named after your company (for example, "World Connection") that combines your gross salary and tax split details into a single net income line for budget reporting.

If your report is displaying the underlying gross categories with $0 budget amounts instead of showing your net paycheck row, the report filters may be preventing the automatic rollup from displaying correctly.

Please verify your budget category settings:

Go to the Budget Planning tab.
Select Select Categories to Budget.
Scroll down to the Paychecks group.
Confirm that the checkbox next to your specific company name is selected.

Once these settings are confirmed, try exporting the Current Budget report again.

If Quicken crashes during the export, please create a backup of your file and then validate it using the following steps:

Go to File
Select Validate and Repair File
Choose Validate File
Click OK

After the validation completes, try exporting the report again.

Please let me know how it goes.

Hi Laura, I'm not talking about the Planning tab budget. I have my budget already set up and correctly shows both Savings Goals and Paychecks.

I am talking about the budget report:

I am trying to export my budget so I can do more advanced reporting in excel and I cannot figure out any way to include these other "special" categories in the export.

Also I will note that I tried exporting the planning tab contents to CSV and doing that crashes Quicken.
