If you're a salaried worker and your paycheck is deposited automatically by your employer, you can schedule a deposit of your paycheck within Quicken.

Not only that, you can also record how much of your gross income is devoted to taxes, social security, IRAs or 401(k)s, health plans, and what all so that you can keep track of stuff.

Get your most recent paycheck stub and choose Banking, Banking Activities, Set Up My Paycheck As a Register Transaction. Then answer the questions in the Paycheck Setup dialog box, clicking the Next button as you go along. To schedule the paycheck deposit, be sure to click the Yes button when Quicken asks whether you want to be reminded automatically to enter your paycheck deposit.
