Expense Tracking

Know where every dollar goes

Four distinct expense types, 14 categories, and complete team cost tracking. Everything you need to understand the real profitability of your business.

Four Expense Types

The right tool for every kind of cost

Real businesses have more than just one-time expenses. Limitlytics supports fixed, recurring, commission, and tax expenses — each modeled to reflect how those costs actually work.

Fixed expenses

One-time costs with label, amount, date, and category. Perfect for equipment purchases, event fees, and other point-in-time expenses.

Recurring expenses

Monthly operational costs across date ranges with automatic proration for partial months. Ideal for software, retainers, workspace costs, and other repeating overhead.

Commission expenses

Percentage-based expense tied to a specific team member's revenue, with future rate changes supported when compensation plans evolve.

Tax expenses

Percentage-based expenses calculated against revenue so tax liabilities stay visible in the same financial workflow as the rest of the business.
