Reading your P&L Answer 9 of 36 Updated

What is Remaining overhead on the P&L?

Remaining overhead is all the overhead costs that are not named above it, added together. You see it when you open Overhead Costs on the P&L, with the arrow after its name.

When it is open, Overhead Costs lists your biggest overhead costs by name, like Salaries or Rent. Everything smaller goes into one last row, Remaining overhead. Say your overhead this month is €4.200,00, spread over twelve costs. Your biggest costs might add up to €3.700,00. Then Remaining overhead shows the other €500,00.

Other costs work a bit differently. They are one-offs, like a repair, a lawyer's bill or a trade fair. They sit on their own row under the line, called of which other costs. It opens to show your biggest other costs, then Remaining other costs. The overhead list and that row add up to Overhead Costs together, to the cent.

You add both kinds on the Overhead page, with Add cost. A cost that repeats each month or year is spread evenly over the days. A one-off lands whole on its date. Marketing spend you add there never counts here, because it belongs in Marketing Costs.
