DanceLedger / Expenses
Record and review festival trip expenses
Add confirmed costs to the right trip, review category totals, filter the ledger, and keep shared spending understandable.
Updated
A trip owns the costs that belong together. Add a confirmed expense from the trip itself, then use Expenses to review spending across trips and date ranges.
Record the cost on the trip
Open the trip and add the amount, category, payer, and split that match the real purchase. A working budget is an estimate. An expense is a cost that happened.
Review the full ledger
Expenses summarizes totals, categories, patterns, and individual entries. Change the date range or choose a category to narrow the table without changing the underlying expense.
Keep currencies honest
When the selected range contains more than one currency, DanceLedger shows source-currency totals separately instead of inventing a conversion that was never recorded.

Return to the trip when you need to edit the entry or review settlement between travelers.
Common questions
Where do I add an expense?
Add it inside the trip that owns the purchase. The Expenses page is the cross-trip review and filtering workspace.
Can I import a bank charge instead of entering it by hand?
DanceLedger Pro can connect an eligible bank account and import selected transactions. Review the trip, category, and split before treating an imported charge as a trip expense.
