What expense periods mean

Updated 8 May 2026
Understand Today, This week, Month to date, Year to date, and Since start on the Expenses page.

Bizwazi groups expenses into useful periods so you can review spending daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or across the full history of the business.

Today

  • Today means the current Bizwazi trading day.
  • This is the most useful period for daily cash-up and reconciliation.
  • If your business day cut-off time is not midnight, today may follow your trading day setting rather than a normal calendar day.

This week

  • This week uses Monday to Sunday.
  • It helps you see whether spending this week is normal or unusually high.
  • Weekly expense checks are useful for transport, wages, stock purchases, and regular running costs.

Month to date and Year to date

  • Month to date shows expenses from the start of the current month.
  • Year to date shows expenses from the start of the current year.
  • These figures help you understand whether costs are growing over time.

Since start

  • Since start shows all recorded expenses from the beginning of your Bizwazi records.
  • Use this when you want a full spending history.
