Payday view can be found on the Recurring tab allowing you to see all of your bills that are due before your next payday. In addition to the increased visibility for those bills, we'll calculate a safe to spend number that will let you know how much you can spend before your next paycheck.

Before enabling payday view, you will need to meet these requirements:

  • Connected the bank account that you receive your paychecks.

  • The payday view will only show bills that are paid via that checking account. All other subscriptions will appear in your Recurring calendar.

  • A minimum of 3 paychecks with consistent descriptions and deposit cadences are required for the system to detect your income.

  • This is an app-only feature at this time and not available on the Rocket Money website.

Payday View Limitations

  • Variable income: income with inconsistent amounts or pay dates such as commission cannot be tracked by the app due to being unpredictable.

  • Multiple incomes: our app may not always detect multiple income sources

  • New job: If you receive a new source of income, you need to wait for a minimum of 3 pay periods for the app to detect your income.

  • Manual income: you cannot add income manually at this time. Our app must detect your payroll.


If you are prompted to connect a checking account when enabling your payday view, but meet the requirements above, it's likely that we need more information to determine your next payday.

To ensure your most recent paycheck is assigned to your payroll to enable Payday View from the Mobile App:

  1. Tap on the Transactions Tab

  2. Next, use the search bar to find your list of paychecks using your paycheck’s description (usually the name of your workplace followed by your name and then a string of numbers)

  3. Select your most recent deposit.

  4. From there, you'll see a row that says Is Paycheck? and you can select the button next to it.

  5. The button should turn green now, which means Rocket Money now recognizes this as being part of your payroll.

  6. You will need to follow these same instructions for all other deposits that are missing.

  7. After you've done that, our system will recalibrate your payroll for you and you should see it appear in your PayDay View.

Enabling Payday View is available exclusively on the Rocket Money mobile app. You will not be able to complete the above instructions on our website.
