Understanding your Sage invoices

Learn how Sage calculates your Sage Accounting, Payroll, HR and Client Management invoices and view detailed breakdowns.

Understanding your invoice breakdown

Your invoice includes two main sections:

Summary of your products and services

This section shows the monthly charges for your subscriptions. Sage bills these charges in advance from the first day of your billing period.

Summary of usage

This section lists charges exceeding your subscription allowances, based on the previous month's usage.

So, if your Payroll subscription allows 10 employees and you add three in September, your October invoice shows extra charges.

Sage for Accountants

If you use Sage for Accountants, your invoice summarises your Practice and Client subscriptions.

Pro-rated charges

Sage applies pro-rated charges to subscriptions you add after your billing date. These charges show as an asterisk (*) in the invoice quantity field. The CSV provides a detailed breakdown.

Example:

• Your billing date is 1 September
• You add a subscription on 23 August
• Your next invoice covers all of September and the period from 23 to 31 August

Client usage

Sage for Accountants invoices excludes client usage charges for AutoEntry and GoProposal. To view these charges:

1. Go to your business name on the navigation bar.
2. Select Manage business account, then Client usage.
