When should I use the Allocation Calculator?

This skill is designed for use on 'allocation days,' traditionally the 10th and 25th of each month, to distribute funds from your Income account.

Does this skill connect to my bank account?

No, this is a calculation tool. It provides the exact figures and transfer instructions which you then execute manually within your banking portal for security.

What is the Profit First methodology?

It is a cash management system that flips the traditional accounting formula to Sales - Profit = Expenses, ensuring business owners take profit first.

Can I use this if I have inventory costs?

Yes, the skill includes a specific workflow for product businesses that allocates materials/inventory first to determine 'Real Revenue' before calculating other distributions.

How does the skill handle rounding errors?

The calculator rounds each allocation to the nearest cent and automatically adjusts the Operating Expenses (OpEx) amount to account for any fractional differences, ensuring the total matches your income.
