Understand distribution types

Percent of Net Pay

• The system always calculates this using the original net check amount.
• It doesn’t consider remaining balances after other deductions or distributions.

Fixed Amount

• The system distributes only the available balance if the fixed amount exceeds net pay.
• The system processes Fixed Amount distributions before Percent of Net distributions.

Review priority and distribution behavior

• Distribution follows the priority order, starting with Priority 1.
• If Priority 1 uses all funds, lower priorities receive nothing.
• If you don't fully distribute the paycheck, the remaining amount goes to the highest priority account.

Understand final account behavior

• The final account always uses Percent of Net.
• It uses the remaining percentage if other accounts also use Percent of Net.
• It uses 100% if other accounts use Fixed Amount.

Manage direct deposit accounts

• You can’t delete accounts with transaction history.
• To stop using an account, set its distribution amount to 0.
• This action marks the account inactive.

Adjust account priorities

• Use the Move Up and Move Dn buttons to change the distribution order.
• The system always processes accounts from top to bottom.

Review distribution calculations and examples

Example 1

• Net check: $1,000
• Distribution 1: Fixed $50, Savings
• Distribution 2: Percent of Net 100% Checking

Calculation:

• Distribution 1: $50, remaining $950.
• Distribution 2: $1,000 × 100% = $1,000, but only $950 available.

Example 2

• Net check: $1,000
• Distribution 1: Fixed $100, Savings
• Distribution 2: Percent of Net 25%, Checking A
• Distribution 3: Percent of Net 75%, Checking B

Calculation:

• Distribution 1: $100, remaining $900.
• Distribution 2: $1,000 × 25% = $250, remaining $650.
• Distribution 3: $1,000 × 75% = $750, but only $650 available.
