¶ Fixed costs
The Fixed costs feature allows you to define recurring business expenses that are not tied to variable factors - such as rent, subscriptions, or staff-related costs. These expenses are configured once and recur over a set period based on your defined settings.
Use this feature to track and manage predictable outflows and support accurate financial planning.
To set up fixed costs navigate to Config → Finance → Fixed costs.
Click the Add button to create a new fixed cost:
-
Category - select the appropriate cost category from the dropdown (e.g., Staff, Rent, Utilities). Categories help group expenses for easier tracking and reporting.
-
Description - enter a brief description of the cost.
-
Enabled - toggle this on to activate the cost.
Only Enabled fixed costs are included in calculations.

-
