How does the Jars Assistant make its calculations?
Speaking broadly, the Jars Assistant allocates sufficient funds from each paycheck to a given jar to support the spending demands placed upon it. For example, if you are paid every two weeks and make a monthly mortgage payment, the Jars Assistant will allocate half of your mortgage payment to your Mortgage jar from each paycheck. On the flip side, if you need to spend money at the grocery store every week, the assistant will place twice the weekly amount needed in the Groceries jar (because you are only paid every other week).
