Tracking Your Spending
The Spending page turns the costs you log on completed tasks into a clear picture of what your home maintenance actually costs over time.
Where the Numbers Come From
Spending is built entirely from the Actual Cost you enter when you mark a task complete. Every time you complete a task and record what you paid, it's added to your spending totals. You can update a cost later from the task's detail sheet. There's no separate place to add spending — it always comes from completed tasks. See How to Mark Tasks Complete for how to log costs.
What the Spending Page Shows
Open Spending from the sidebar. You'll see:
- Year-to-Date Spending — your total spend so far this year
- Summary cards — Total Spend, the number of completed tasks with a logged cost, and your average cost per task for the selected year
- Monthly Spending chart — a bar for each month of the year so you can spot your heaviest months
- Spending by System — a breakdown by home system (HVAC, roof, plumbing, and so on), sorted by how much you've spent. Expand any system to see the individual tasks, their completion dates, and what each one cost
Filtering
You can narrow what you're looking at with three filters that work together:
- Year — step back to previous years
- Systems — focus on one or more specific systems
- Date range — limit to a span within the selected year
The Year-to-Date card always reflects the current year; the other sections update as you change the filters.
Exporting Your Spending
You can export your spending for record-keeping, taxes, or budgeting:
- CSV — a spreadsheet with the date, task, system, and cost of each completed task
- PDF — a formatted spending report
Both exports respect your current filters. Exporting is a Home Pro feature.
Plan Requirements
The full Spending breakdown is available on Home Plan and above. Free-plan users can see their year-to-date total but need to upgrade to unlock the breakdown, chart, and system view. Spending exports (CSV and PDF) require Home Pro.
