# Managing Expenses

There are three additional item types that jobs can contain besides timed items. While these items can still have the timer run on them for your personal tracking, that time is not used to calculate their cost.

Fixed Cost items are used for expenses that have a fixed cost that you would like to appear on your invoice. You can enter the cost for these items directly.

Quantity items allow you to enter a price per unit and a number of units, the product of which will determine the total cost for the item. A unit name can also be added that will appear on the invoice.

Mileage items calculate their total cost from the distance you enter multiplied by the mileage rate you have specified in the Client. Alternatively, you can specify a custom mileage rate for the item. In the Client settings you can specify if you want the mileage to be in Miles or Kilometers, which will be shown on the invoice.
