Online Set(LR) application form confusion- new sections-annual earnings?

Hi
I'm a non-EU citizen and hoping to apply for continuous long residence. I have been trying to fill out the online application form. I've had a look at the paper application form before it was scrapped and noticed that this online version is much more detailed and so I'm confused.
It asks for the names of my children and with whom they live with even though I've stated that I'm married and am living with my wife currently(she already has ILR). It doesn't allow you to choose both of us either me or my wife. So I guess I should choose myself?
The other new section is the part where it asks about employment, (this was never in the previous paper application) it asks about my annual earnings. I work on a zero contract and have only been with my current employer for 4 months. Any idea on how I should calculate this? Is it the average of the 4 months forecast over the next year? Or based on previous P60 2017/2018 with my previous employer?
I'm really anxious as to how this may affect my ILR outcome as previously continuous LR never asked about earnings.
Many thanks for any advice,
RZ15

Are you completing form SET(LR)??

There is no income requirement for ILR based on 10 years long residence.

Thanks CR001
Yes that's why I'm so confused! I keep checking and even downloaded my incomplete form and it clearly says SET(LR). Any thoughts?

P.S.
Just a clarification the original question is under section Employment where it asks if you are a student, unemployed, self-employed or employed. After choosing employed- it asks for your earnings and employer's details.
Also the children in the previous paper form was only asked for, if you were a EU citizen now it's changed.
