Splitting Expenses Across Properties

Splitting Expenses Across Properties

Some costs apply to more than one property — for example, a portfolio-wide insurance policy or an accountant's fee covering your entire operation.

How to Split an Expense

1. When recording an expense, click Split Across Properties.
2. Select the properties (or units) the expense applies to.
3. Choose a split method:
   • Equal — Divide the total equally across selected properties.
   • Custom — Enter a specific amount or percentage for each property.
   • By Unit Count — Split proportionally based on the number of units in each property.
4. Review the allocation and click Save.

How Split Expenses Appear

Each property receives its own expense entry for its share of the total. The entries are linked so you can view the original total and the split breakdown from any of them.

Editing a Split

To change the allocation:

1. Open any of the split expense entries.
2. Click Edit Split.
3. Adjust the amounts or add/remove properties.
4. Click Save.

Reporting

In reports, split expenses appear under each property's costs, giving you accurate per-property profitability figures.

Tip: Use the "By Unit Count" method for building-wide costs like communal area maintenance or shared insurance premiums.
