<tease>Why?</tease>
<p>You can have Money calculate the average amount of a scheduled bill based on its previous instances.</p>
<li>If this is a new bill, click <emph>New</emph>, and then click <emph>Bill</emph>. </li>
<p>If this bill is already scheduled, click the bill, click <emph>Edit</emph>, and then click <emph>Edit bill series</emph>.</p>
<li>To the right of the Amount box, select <emph>Estimate amount based on last number of instances</emph>, and then click the number of instances you want to use to estimate the bill amount.</li>
<p>This option is not available for automatic payments.</p>
<p>For a new bill, enter the other information for this bill.</p>
