In Dec 2023 I tried to upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu 20.04 . There was some file corruption which was difficult for me to fix so I wiped the hard disc clean and installed a fresh version of Ubuntu 20.04 . In 20.04 I use Gnucash 3.8 . In 18.04 I used Gnucash 2.6.19 At the time of the

In my view it's going to be very difficult to justify spending any time tracking a whole bunch of zeroes with a contra equity account. I would not even want to see that on the books, much less spend time every pay period adjusting the contra account balance to some new amount less than 1. At th

If you really want to track this you could setup a contra account to your Income acct which sums into the Income account e.g. first month: Income Credit 1800.50 Asset:Taxes withheld Debit 300.00 Income::Pay rounding Credit0.50 Asset:Bank Debit 1501.

You are over complicating matters. You are trying to record (account for) an UNKNOWN situation. At least I think unknown. Are they telling you "we rounded this up by y amount and will later round down to make up for it". Or, as I rather suspect, it is just happening. How about each month simp

This rounding is not material to your financial condition. Tracking the rounding is not worth the time and effort necessary, so you could adjust your gross pay for the rounding. First month would be an increase (in pay/earnings) of €0.50, and the second month would be a decrease by €0.30. Over

I don't have this sort of rounding arrangement on my paychecks, but I do have similar with one shareholding I have. I suggest you use GC to model reality, as far as possible.. Each paycheck gives you pennies of a liability (loan) from your employer. So use a liability account in your GC tre

Hello everyone, how do you record the rounding of your netpay? After subtracting taxes from my gross pay, if the result of my net pay is a floating point number, my company rounds this number up to the next integer then credits the amount to my bank account. But the rounding is just a loan, th
