Accounting and expenses
The Accounting page
A month-by-month table of all your flows, with three summary cards: revenue, total expenses, net income.
Eight categories can be shown or hidden with a click:
| Category | What it is |
|---|---|
| Sales | Your income |
| Purchases | Your Vinted outgoings |
| Refunds | What was given back to you |
| Compensation | Vinted's compensation payments |
| Boost | What you paid to push your listings |
| Showcase | What you paid for featuring |
| Other expenses | Your manually entered costs |
| Transfers | Withdrawals to your bank |
The first column (the month) stays visible when you scroll horizontally.
Hide the empty categories: the table is far more readable with four columns than with eight.
The Expenses page
Two tabs.
Boost & Showcase
Vinted promotions, synced automatically by the extension: date, account, type, price, item.
These are real costs, and they are easy to forget. If you boost regularly, compare that total with your monthly profit: the ratio is sometimes surprising.
Other expenses
Everything Vinted does not see, and that you enter yourself: label, amount, date, and a category — Packaging, Supplies, Transport, Other.
What belongs there:
- boxes, envelopes, tape, tissue paper;
- labels and thermal printer rolls;
- fuel and tolls to go sourcing;
- entry fees for car boot sales;
- subscriptions linked to the business, including Vintedge;
- washing machine, stain removers, hangers, clothes rails.
Without those lines, the profit you see is too optimistic. On an average volume, packaging and transport easily account for 5 to 10% of revenue.
A CSV export is available.
The logical chain
- Stock gives the purchase cost of each item.
- The sales ↔ stock link gives the gross margin.
- Other expenses give the real margin.
- Profitability applies contributions and tax.
- Invoices produce the supporting documents.
Each step makes the next one credible. If the first one is missing, everything else is approximate.
For your accountant
The combination that works: the CSV export of sales and purchases (filtered on the year), the month-by-month accounting table, and the purchase invoices as a ZIP for proof of costs.
