The daily
fixed-cost slice.

The daily fixed-cost slice is one of the things that distinguishes nouz from a typical bookkeeping tool. Spreading fixed costs across every day they apply gives you a more honest daily number — but it does mean understanding what the slice represents.

01 Why is rent subtracted daily instead of monthly?

Because if we only subtracted rent on the first of the month, that first day would always look catastrophic and the rest would look great — which is misleading. Slicing the cost daily means today's EBIT reflects today's honest share of the overhead, so the daily number stays comparable day-to-day. A monthly rent of €2.800 becomes a daily slice of roughly €92 that every day pays toward.

02 Where does the fixed-cost slice show up?

In the P&L, the fixed-cost line shows the slice for whichever time period you're viewing. Day view shows one day's slice (~€92 for the example), week view shows seven slices summed (~€644), month view shows the actual monthly cost with no slicing math (€2.800), and year view shows the yearly equivalent (~€33,600). The breakdown by view is below.

• Day view — one day's slice. ~€92 for the example.
• Week view — seven slices summed. ~€644.
• Month view — the monthly cost (no slicing math). €2.800.
• Year view — yearly equivalent. ~€33,600.

03 Do the daily slices add back up to the real cost?

Yes. The daily slices, summed across a month, equal the actual monthly cost within a fraction of a cent for rounding. The 30.4375 divisor is exactly right for that: 12 × 30.4375 = 365.25 days, which matches an average year including leap days. The accounting stays consistent at every view granularity, so no view double-counts or loses money against another.

In month or year P&L views, nouz displays the actual periodic cost (not the sum-of-slices) to avoid showing rounding artifacts in totals.

04 Is the slice real cash leaving my account?

This is the most common source of confusion: "my daily EBIT shows €22 but my bank account doesn't reflect that". The slice is bookkeeping, not cash flow. Real cash sits in your bank and moves on its own schedule (cash sales settle same-day, card sales T+1, rent on the 1st, etc.). The daily EBIT is the daily verdict, not the daily deposit.
