A new option to use a separate category for your forecast interest has been released into beta. This solves the problem of there being no association between interest transactions that appear in an account, and the forecasted interest shown on the Calendar.
If you toggle on this option in the Interest Settings preferences area for an account, a new category will be added with a corresponding name, nested under a top-level “Interest” setting. On the categories page, this category will appear with a % symbol next to it.
You can assign interest transactions to this category, and you’ll be able to perform budget analysis for your interest in that account, as you would for any other budget.
As this is a beta feature, there may be some quirks — please let us know if you find any!
