More About Your Income & Expenses

Because of the complicated work rules for benefits programs, your income may fluctuate over time. This table can help you plan for these changes.

Many quantities are shown here. Use the "grow" ("") and "shrink" ("") icons to show and hide levels of detail. You can also show and hide whole years.

Income & Expenses Math
