Insights: Invoiced vs. Spent

Provides insight into your spending on subscriptions and the actual invoiced amount.

Written by Simplicate Support

This report compares the invoiced revenue against the spent value (hours + costs) per service and project. The difference between the two is the balance. Everything is expressed in monetary terms, because the number of hours spent on each hour type is not always predetermined for a service.


This shows whether spending is in line with what has been invoiced. If spending exceeds invoicing, you see this as a negative balance — a signal to investigate the project and, ideally at an early stage, make adjustments. Possible causes:

  • the service has too little budget;

  • the service takes more time than anticipated.


Report structure

At the top is the filter bar; below it a block with totals (Total), the Invoiced vs. spent chart, and the Detail view (the table).


Invoiced vs. spent

Places the invoiced revenue and spent value side by side, so you can see at a glance where invoicing falls behind spending.


Detail view

The table shows the invoiced revenue, spending, and balance per service and project. Sort by Balance to bring the projects with the largest deviation to the top. Use Columns to choose which columns are visible and Export to download the data.
