Spend in another currency

Each project has one currency, and every total is shown in it. On Premium and Professional you can also record expenses and budgets in other currencies, which is useful for things bought abroad or online.

Choose the project's currency#

You pick the currency when you create the project, and can change it in the project's Settings tab under Currency. Once the project has budgets, expenses or material costs, the currency is fixed, because those amounts were recorded against it.

Record an expense in another currency#

1. On the Expenses tab, select Add expense.
2. Choose the Currency.
3. Enter the Amount in that currency.
4. Leave Exchange rate blank to use the European Central Bank's rate for the expense's date, or enter your own rate, for example the one on your bank statement.
5. Select Add expense.

The list shows the amount in the project's currency with the original beside it. When you edit the expense, you see the rate used and where it came from, such as "ECB rate for 3 Jan 2026" or "your rate".

If there's no ECB rate for that currency on that date, the form asks you to enter the rate yourself.

Why totals don't change#

The rate is saved with the expense when you record it. Later changes in exchange rates never change what's already recorded, so your reports stay the same. If you change an expense's date, it keeps its rate unless you enter a new one.

Budgets in another currency#

Project and room budgets have a Currency choice too. Today's rate is saved when you set the budget, and is only taken again if you change the currency.
