regularly_delayed: Generate list of repeating financial transactions with delayed starting month

Description

In case you only know the annual sum of transactions for given years but also that they don't begin in January of the first year, you can use the function regularly_delayed to split the sums to be used in revenue or expense objects that acknowledge the delay. It extends regularly.

Usage

regularly_delayed(years, pa, start_month = 1)
delayed(pa, start_month = 1)

Value

Either a list of monthly transactions named in "YYYY.MM" scheme (regularly_delayed), or vector of the same length as pa (delayed).

Arguments

years

See regularly.

pa

See regularly.

start_month

Integer number, the month of the first revenue/expense. All earlier monthly transactions will be 0 and the sum for the respective year divided by the number months left for that year.

Details

The delayed function assumes pa to be a total value for a full year, but does not distribute it evenly over the active months, but rather subtracts any amount that would have been due before start_month.

Examples

# say you earn 3000 each year, but payment starts in September
# calculate payment sums
delayed_2019_2021 <- delayed(
   pa=rep(3000, 3),
   start_month=9
)

# now use the result to caclulate monthly amounts
delayed_monthly_2019_2021 <- regularly_delayed(
   years=2019:2021,
   pa=delayed_2019_2021,
   start_month=9
)
