What does Daily P&L impact mean on the Overhead page?
It is what a cost takes from your profit each day. P&L is short for profit and loss. A monthly cost counts as its amount times 12, divided by 365. A yearly cost counts as its amount divided by 365. So the same cost hits every day evenly, whatever the length of the month.
An example: rent of €1.500,00 a month is €1.500,00 × 12 ÷ 365, about €49,32 a day. Those €49,32 come off every day's profit on your P&L.
A one-time cost shows on booking date instead. It hits your P&L in full on the day it was booked. A CSV import of ad spend shows on each row's date, because each row counts on its own day.
The Total row adds up the daily impact of the recurring costs running today. For a recurring cost, Daily P&L impact sits at the top of its panel as you type, with Monthly and Yearly beside it. Under that, a ring shows this cost's share of all your fixed costs per day.
