monthly income

Paycheck each month

Monthly income is the amount of money a person or household receives in a month, whether from wages, investments, government benefits, or other sources.

It's a standard measure for budgeting and for determining eligibility for loans, rentals, and assistance programs: Her monthly income covers rent but leaves little for savings.

Gross monthly income is before taxes; net is after.
