Expense Types:

There are three types of expense available in the drop-down:

  1. Normal – this is a one off expense and the date is when it is paid.
  2. Amortised – this is where your school is spreading the cost of a expense over time, such as a car.
  3. Recurring – this is a regular, repeated expense, such as rent.

With amortised and recurring expenses you need to put a “From” and a “To” date. 

Here is an example of an amortised expense:

Teachers as an Expense:

Teachers’ pay will be added automatically in expenses provided you have put the teachers’ rate when you generate classes. If a lesson is cancelled, extended etc., the expenses will be adjusted accordingly. You cannot edit a teachers’ pay here:
