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:

CategoryWhat it is
SalesYour income
PurchasesYour Vinted outgoings
RefundsWhat was given back to you
CompensationVinted's compensation payments
BoostWhat you paid to push your listings
ShowcaseWhat you paid for featuring
Other expensesYour manually entered costs
TransfersWithdrawals 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

  1. Stock gives the purchase cost of each item.
  2. The sales ↔ stock link gives the gross margin.
  3. Other expenses give the real margin.
  4. Profitability applies contributions and tax.
  5. 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.
