I've added a bit more documentation, including brief explanations of the two most significant formulas.

Hey man this is amazing! This is just what I am looking for. Is there also a way to make it divide out evenly among the months? So if you were +1000 for January that surplus would not be necessary for the remaining months instead of just 1? if not, it is okay. I appreciate it sm!

It's possible I'm sure, but I'm not succeeding in the short term. I've gotten it to adjust each month, but it adjusts retroactively too, which you don't want. The spread of remaining has to go only to future months. It's intriguing, so I'll keep working at it, but it may take a while (since I do also have a life outside of this forum)>
