What lands here
What to watch out for
Leases are fixed-schedule payments, so the default projection tracks them well while they run. What it cannot see is the term ending. A lease that finishes in four months will keep being projected forward indefinitely, quietly overstating your costs — and a replacement lease at a different rate will not appear at all. Model the schedule and its end date as a contract.
Planning this line properly is what Simulating fixed costs is for.
How it's forecast
With the default setup — no extensions, no drivers, no custom projections — Leasing is projected from your own booked actuals using the trailing 30-day average: the last 30 days are summed and divided by 30 to get a daily rate, which is carried forward flat and aggregated into each week and month.
daily rate = sum of the last 30 days of actuals ÷ 30
monthly forecast ≈ daily rate × days in monthFor Leasing, €900 booked over the last 30 days gives €900 ÷ 30 ≈ €30/day, so a 30-day month projects to about €900. As new actuals import, the window rolls forward and the projection updates on its own.
Horizon: up to 24 months of history and 24 months forward. The table shows 12 months (or 13 weeks / 90 days) by default — scroll horizontally for the rest.
Want a different shape — a fixed cost, a growth trend, or a share of revenue? That's what the Custom Projection extension and driver-based forecasting are for. This page describes the default, historical-only behaviour.
