Other

Anything that doesn't fit another operating line.

2 min read

Other is the catch-all operating category for costs that don't map cleanly elsewhere. Anything Foreqast can't confidently classify lands here so your totals still tie out.

Where it sits

Appears under Operating Expenses in the Foreqast table, as an expense. Ledger key: Other.

What lands here

Uncategorised expenses
One-off miscellaneous costs
Small ad-hoc purchases

What to watch out for

Other is the only category where a rising number is a warning about your data rather than about your spending. Anything Foreqast cannot confidently classify lands here, so a growing Other means the mapping is falling behind — and every euro in it is a euro missing from a line you could actually plan. If Other is more than a few percent of operating costs, fix the categories rather than forecasting the total.

Planning this line properly is what Categories is for.

How it's forecast

With the default setup — no extensions, no drivers, no custom projections — Other 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 month

For Other, €500 booked over the last 30 days gives €500 ÷ 30 ≈ €17/day, so a 30-day month projects to about €500. 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.
