What "irregular income" means in finance

Irregular income refers to income that is not received at regular intervals or in predictable amounts. This can include bonuses, commissions, freelance work, rental income, or any other type of income that is not consistent or guaranteed. Irregular income can make budgeting and financial planning more challenging, as it requires greater flexibility and may require the individual to save or budget differently than they would with a consistent, predictable income.
