How expenses are tracked

The Expenses figure on the cashflow page is an estimate of the trailing 12-month outflows from your portfolio — debt service, running costs, and fees derived from your account details.

Where do expenses come from?

Like income, expenses are derived from the details you set on each account. Tremis never connects to your bank — everything is based on what you tell it.

🏦 Mortgage — monthly repayments

Set a monthly payment amount on a mortgage account. If you don't set one, Tremis estimates the interest portion using your balance and the interest rate.

Edit the account → find Payment amount and Interest rate under mortgage details.

💳 Loans — repayments

Same as mortgages — set a monthly payment amount or let Tremis estimate from the balance and interest rate.

Edit the account → find Payment amount and Interest rate under loan details.

🏠 Property — running costs

Set yearly running expenses on a property account to track maintenance, insurance, and fees. You can also track property tax, HOA fees, and insurance separately.

Edit the account → scroll to Property expenses under advanced details.

Custom expenses per asset

Any asset can have user-defined recurring expenses — storage costs, management fees, insurance premiums, vault charges, or anything else that doesn't have a dedicated field.

How to add custom expenses

  1. Open the asset from the Accounts page (click the edit icon).
  2. Scroll to the Custom income & expenses section at the bottom of the panel.
  3. Click Add item, enter a label, select Expense, enter the amount and frequency.
  4. Save. The item is included in your cashflow totals immediately.

Custom items use the asset's native currency. If the actual cost is in a different currency, enter the equivalent amount in the asset's currency.

Avoid double-counting

Custom items are additive — they stack on top of any expenses already derived from built-in fields (mortgage payment, property running expenses, etc.). Only add a custom item if the expense is genuinely separate from what Tremis already estimates.

What's not tracked automatically

Day-to-day spending (groceries, subscriptions, utilities) isn't tracked — Tremis focuses on portfolio-level cashflow, not personal budgeting. Use a dedicated budgeting app for granular expense tracking.

Why it matters

Debt service is often the biggest drag on net cashflow. Seeing your mortgage and loan payments alongside your income gives you a real picture of how much cash your portfolio actually produces each year.
