Fixed expenses are single, one-off costs tied to a specific date. Use them for purchases, event fees, or any expense that happens once.
What is a fixed expense?
A fixed expense records a one-time cost with:
- Label -- a description (e.g., "MacBook Pro", "Conference ticket")
- Amount -- the cost
- Date -- when the expense occurred
- Category -- one of the 14 expense categories

How fixed expenses appear in dashboards
Fixed expenses appear on your Financial Dashboard on the date they were recorded:
- They're included in the Expenses Chart as a data point on their specific date
- They show up in the Expenses Breakdown under their assigned category
- They reduce your profit for the period that includes their date
Tip: Be consistent with categories so your expense breakdown charts are meaningful. If you're not sure which category to use, "Other" is always an option.
