Expenses

The Expenses page displays the costs of consumed Gcore products that have been billed to your account.

For each user in the account, you can check the following information:

• ID: A unique identifier of a user account. It’s used to track billing history, payments, and account activity.
• Date: A date when a Gcore product was consumed.
• Service: A type of a consumed product. For example, Cloud or Streaming.
• Feature: A particular product feature that was used.
• Pricing rule: In this column, you can compare your actual product usage agains a pre-agreed commitment (reservation of resources). Check Pricing rules overview for details.
• Usage: The amount of consumed resource.
• Sum: The cost of consumed resource.

Pricing rules overview

The Pricing rules column can have two statuses: commitment or overcommitment. This applies to the resource reservation — renting of resources for a long time at a discount.

If you see commitment, this means that the resource usage is within the limits of your reservation. You're billed based on the agrred rates and terms and pay no additional costs.

If there’s overcommitment status, this means that the resource usage has exceeded the reserved limit. Additional charges will apply based on the overage fees.

We count overcommit expenses on the 1st day of the month for the pervious month.

Tax rates and discounts

If you click the info icon next to the Sum column, you can view a detailed breakdown of the expense, including the collected taxes and applied discounts:

• Expense before tax (€): The total amount charged before taxes are applied.
• Discount percentage (%): The percentage of discount applied to your payment before taxation.
• Discount amount (€): The actual amount of the discount.
• Tax rate (%): The percentage of tax applied to your expense. This rate is based on local tax laws or regulations. Check VAT rates in different countries
• Tax amount (€): The total amount of tax you’ll pay.

If your tax rate changes during the billing month, we recalculate the expenses to reflect the new rate consistently across the entire invoice. We don’t adjust your invoice if the tax rate remains the same.

We delete and re-create all overcommit expenses for daily billed customers, even if the tax rate remains unchanged. This process ensures consistency between your expenses and expense statistics. As a result, your old expenses can be marked as Deleted both in the Customer Portal and API.

Filter expense data in the table

You can filter expenses by the consumption date or by a particular service type. The consumption perdiod is set to month by default, but you can choose a custom period as well.

To adjust table data, use the relevant filters from the Service or Date dropdowns.
