Expense to Total Expenses

Expense to Total Expenses

 

Overview

This widget shows the ratio between one of your EXPENSE accounts and the totality of your expenses over a period of time.

Calculation

For example, if your total expenses from the 1st of Jan up to the 30th of May are 61,550.73 AUD and your Wages and Salaries expenses for the same period is 40,200.00 AUD, the calculated ratio will be:

40,200.00 / 61,550.73 = 65.31%

Settings

You can change the selected account and time period in the settings section (top-right cogwheel)


 

Verify it in Impac! (Profit and Loss widget)

In Impac!, the Profit and Loss widget can be used to verify what exactly stands behind the calculated ratio.

  • The Total Expenses can be found by adding up the Cost of Goods Sold, the Operating Expenses, and the Non Operating Expenses lines in the Profit and Loss widget.
  • The Account's Expense Amount (Wages and Salaries in the example) can be found by expanding the account's breakdown on the left-hand panel of the Profit and Loss widget ("+" sign on the left).

Make sure the same time period is selected for both the two widgets.
