Smart Pattern Recognition

PayDay learns your pay patterns, including employer name, typical amounts, and payment timing. This ensures accurate detection even when amounts vary slightly.

If a split fails due to temporary issues, PayDay automatically retries. You'll be notified if any action is needed, but most issues resolve automatically.

Full Transaction History

Every detection and split is logged with timestamps. Review your complete payment history anytime through the app dashboard.

Common Questions

What if I get paid at irregular times?

PayDay monitors your account continuously, regardless of when your pay arrives. Whether you're paid weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or at irregular intervals, we'll detect it as soon as it lands.

How does PayDay know which deposit is my salary?

During setup, you'll configure your expected pay source (employer name) and typical amount range. PayDay uses this information along with smart pattern matching to accurately identify your salary from other deposits.

What if my pay amount changes?

PayDay handles variable income beautifully. That's why we recommend percentage-based splits rather than fixed amounts. If you get a bonus, overtime, or your pay varies, your splits adjust proportionally.

Can I have multiple income sources?

Yes! You can configure multiple pay sources with different split rules for each. Perfect for those with multiple jobs, side hustles, or regular income from different sources.
