The income Projection report allows you to see a projection of what your income should be for a given week or over a selected number of weeks.
A range of funding rates and pay parity attestations can be selected to give you a view of different possible funding rates. This can be used for planning around Parity Band changes.
How the projections are calculated:
The projection uses data that is current within the system.
Current child timetables will determine the booked hours, attested hours, and fees.
Based on the timetables, funding is calculated using the desired funding and parity bands.
Funding figures are shown at the full funding rate (not 75% advance 25% washup).
NOTE: See the funding handbook Appendix 1 for the full list of funding rates.
Best practice:
This report is best used as a budgeting tool alongside your existing budgeting process.
Running this report for a week ahead will give you an accurate projection.
Running this projection for multiple months into the future will give a projection based on what is current in the system - This in turn will give you inaccurate figures as expectedand unexpected changes to your child rolls will occur (20ECE changes, booking changes, new enrolments, or extended absences.

Why does the projection not match my actual income?
As this is a projection, the figures are based on a perfect outcome of fees and funding. Funding data in the report is also showing at a full rate and not broken down into a washup/advance payment.
Depending on when and for what period the projection is run for a number of changes could have occurred.
It is recommended this report is run for a shorter period or over a period where you have confirmed all bookings.
Running this 6 months ahead of the current date will leave 6 months for enrolment changes.
Other conditions may also cause the figures to change.
- Manual adjustments to invoices.
- Overdue fees write off.
- Adjustment to children's timetables.
- Enrolment changes.
- Funding exemptions.
- Funding rate changes.
