"More income" can't be tracked. "£150 a month" can. An income target works best tied to something real — the phone bill, the council tax — so you know what reaching it would change. In the app you set it as a monthly figure in the Income Planner on your dashboard, and it's measured against your monthly average: the last twelve months of dividends booked against your holdings, divided by twelve.
That makes progress backward-looking on purpose — it counts money that has actually been paid. Your projected annual income is the forward view: the Estimated Dividends chart's next twelve months, built largely from each holding's last year and refreshed daily. A new holding shows up in the projection straight away but takes up to a year to count fully towards the target, so expect the two to disagree for a while.
64% there, measured on money that's actually been paid, not money that's expected.
