The low month becomes the spending baseline; income above it can go toward debt or savings.<\/p>\n<p>The next step is to separate essential monthly expenses from irregular costs, such as releases, tours, equipment repairs, travel, software renewals and quarterly tax payments. Fowler recommends getting tax figures from a professional and setting money aside as income arrives.<\/p>\n<p>To calculate a monthly break-even point, add essential expenses, a tax reserve and one-twelfth of annual irregular costs. In Fowler\u2019s example, $1,800 in essentials, $400 for taxes and $3,000 in yearly irregular costs produce a monthly break-even point of <strong>$2,450<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Prepare for slower months<\/h2>\n<p>Fowler suggests holding savings at a separate bank from checking and aiming for a reserve equal to three months of the low-month budget. She also recommends deciding in advance which costs could be cut if work is canceled or a major payment falls through, while accounting for health insurance and taxes.<\/p>\n<p>Additional work could include teaching, session playing, live sound or designing show posters, depending on a musician\u2019s skills. Fowler describes these as ways to bring in income when regular work slows.<\/p>\n<h2>Review actual income<\/h2>\n<p>A monthly review can reveal when an estimate no longer matches earnings. Fowler gives the example of a weekly bar gig budgeted at $500 a month: if it falls to two shows a month at $75 each, the budget must reflect the resulting <strong>$150<\/strong> in income.<\/p>\n<p>A spreadsheet can track money coming in and going out. Fowler also names <a href=\"https:\/\/waveapps.com\">Wave<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ynab.com\">YNAB<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/quickbooks.intuit.com\">QuickBooks Solopreneur<\/a> as options for tracking and invoicing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In an excerpt from her forthcoming book, Liana Fowler offers musicians a method for budgeting when their income changes month
