# Income tracking
## What is income tracking?
Luna was originally built to help people curb spending, and so this feature wasn't originally in the app.
However, people wanted the option to track their income and see how it compared against their expenses.
So this feature lets you simply track how much income you have each month.

## How to track income
When creating a tranasction change the type to "Income" and it will track this as income.

TIP: Use [recurring transactions](https://guide.lunabudgeting.com/features/recurring-expenses) if you have a fixed amount of income per month if you want to save time from inputting this
{% endhint %}
## Turning off income tracking
If you don't find the feature useful, you can turn off income tracing in the settings and we will remove it from the UI.
