What lands here
What to watch out for
Travel clusters around events — a conference, a supplier visit, an offsite — and is close to zero in between. The trailing average smooths that into a steady monthly figure that matches reality in almost no individual month. It is fine as an annual approximation and poor as a cash-timing signal, so if a trip is booked, put it in the month it will be paid.
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 — Travel 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 Travel, €800 booked over the last 30 days gives €800 ÷ 30 ≈ €27/day, so a 30-day month projects to about €800. 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.
