steady income
Reliable money flow
Steady income is money received regularly and reliably over time, typically from employment or investments.
The phrase emphasizes predictability rather than amount—a modest but steady income may be preferable to larger sums that arrive unpredictably: The rental property provides a steady income.
Banks and landlords often require proof of steady income before extending credit or leases.
