How income is tracked

The Income figure on the cashflow page is an estimate of the trailing 12-month inflows from your portfolio — interest, dividends, rent, and other income-producing accounts.

Where does income come from?

Tremis doesn't connect to your bank. Instead, income is derived from the details you add to each account. Here's how each source works:

💰 Savings & certificate accounts — interest income

Set the Interest rate (APY %) on a savings or certificate account. Tremis estimates the annual interest based on your current balance.

Edit the account → find Interest rate under the account details.

📈 Stocks & ETFs — dividends

For tickers with market data, dividends are pulled automatically. For unlisted stocks, set a dividend per share and payment frequency manually.

Edit the account → scroll to Dividend details.

🏠 Property — rental income

Set a monthly rent on a property account. Tremis multiplies this by 12 to get the annual income figure.

Edit the account → find Monthly rent under property details.

🔐 Crypto — staking yield

Set a staking APY % on a crypto account to track yield from staking or delegating.

Edit the account → find Staking APY under crypto details.

Custom income per asset

Some assets generate income that doesn't fit a built-in field — for example, interest earned on stored metals, a revenue-share arrangement on a private holding, or any other recurring inflow tied to a specific asset. You can add these as custom items.

How to add custom income

  1. Open the asset from the Accounts page (click the edit icon).
  2. Scroll to the Custom income & expenses section at the bottom of the panel.
  3. Click Add item, enter a label, select Income, enter the amount and frequency.
  4. Save. The item is included in your cashflow totals immediately.

Custom items use the asset's native currency. If the actual income is in a different currency, enter the equivalent amount in the asset's currency.

Avoid double-counting

Custom items are additive — they stack on top of any income already derived from the account's built-in fields (interest rate, dividend, rent, etc.). Only add a custom item if the income is genuinely separate from what Tremis already estimates.

Why it matters

Tracking income helps you understand your portfolio yield — how much your wealth works for you each year. The Yield of portfolio metric on the cashflow page divides total income by income-producing assets.
