How Direct Deposit Splits Work in the Patriot Worker Portal App

Each direct deposit account gets one of these:

  • Percent: A percentage of your net pay, such as 60%

  • Set amount: A fixed dollar amount, such as $250.00

  • Remainder: Whatever is left after the other accounts are paid

Example: With a $1,000 paycheck split 60% to Family Checking, $250.00 to Emergency Savings, and the remainder to HYSA, Family Checking gets $600, Emergency Savings gets $250, and HYSA gets the remaining $150.
