Suggestions for Reviewing Fixed and Variable Costs

Splitting your monthly spending into "fixed costs" that stay roughly the same every month and "variable costs" that change month to month makes it easier to spot ways to improve. ReceiptRoller's AI automatically sorts your imported spending into these groups and suggests things worth reviewing.

Examples detected as fixed costs

• Communication (mobile and internet)
• Subscriptions (video, music, cloud)
• Insurance premiums and membership fees
• Rent and utilities (when imported from CSV)

Examples detected as variable costs

• Groceries and dining out
• Daily necessities
• Clothing and sundries
• Entertainment and social spending

Review candidates the AI suggests

• Subscriptions you've barely used for a long time, flagged for cancellation
• Overlapping contracts for similar services
• Categories where monthly spending has risen well above your average
• Heads-up on variable costs that temporarily spiked for seasonal reasons

How to work through a review

• Check the relevant spending history from the suggestion card
• Cancel subscriptions you don't need from the provider's own site or app
• Add a "reviewed" mark to keep a record
