Setting up your costs Answer 39 of 46 Updated
What does the Overhead page show?
It lists every cost you add by hand: running costs, marketing spend and one-offs. Open Overhead in the sidebar. The page is called Overhead & custom costs. Overhead means the costs of running the store that do not grow with each order, like rent or salaries.
Four figures sit above the list. A month is what every running cost active today comes to in a month, and how much of it is marketing. A day is the same costs as a daily share, and what part of an average day's net revenue that is. A year is those costs for twelve months, compared with a year ago. One-time costs count on their own day, so they are not in these three.
Overhead paid by is the day of the month when your profit covers a month of overhead. nouz divides that overhead, marketing left out, by your average profit after marketing (CM3) a day over the last three full months. €30.000,00 at €5.000,00 a day is Day 6. It reads None set without running overhead, a dash before your first full month, and Not covered when that pace would not cover it. The Overview's Fixed costs covered on adds up this month's real profit instead.
The tabs above the list are views, with their counts: All, Overhead, Recurring, One-time, Marketing spend and Other costs. Recurring shows monthly and yearly costs, and One-time shows one-offs and CSV imports of ad spend. The search finds a cost by its name or its category. Filter narrows the list by Category, How often and Status. Sort and columns sorts by any column, and hides or moves columns. On a narrow screen, some columns step aside.
The columns are Status, Cost, Category, How often, Amount, A day and When. Status shows if a cost is Active, Scheduled, Ended or Booked. A day is what the cost takes from your profit each day. When shows when it runs, like From 1 Jan 2026, or the day a one-off was booked.
Show total, in Sort and columns, is off at first. Switch it on and a Total row sits under the header. It adds up what the recurring costs in the list that run today cost per month, like €4.250,00 / mo, and per day. With only one-time costs listed, it adds up their amounts. Click Add cost to add one, or click a row to open it. A row of marketing spend opens the marketing form, and a CSV import opens a summary of its rows.
