# How to add an expense?

In Fotostudio, you have the option to manage your expenses.

In [Accounting > Expenses](https://www.fotostudio.io/app/expenses), click on `Add`. You will then have the choice between:
* An expense: if the provider already exists, you can directly create an expense
* A provider: if the provider does not exist, you can create it
* An expense and a provider: you can create both at the same time

When adding an expense, you will have several fields to fill out:
* Provider: to link the expense to a provider
* Category: allows you to categorize your expenses. For more information, see the article [Why and how to create expense categories?](/en/article/why-and-how-to-create-expense-categories-167lwds/)
* Date
* Amount excluding tax
* Tax in €: be sure to indicate the tax amount, not the percentage
* Currency
* Recurring expense (monthly): allows you to create a monthly recurrence. For more information, see the article [How to create / modify / stop a recurring expense?](/en/article/how-to-create-modify-stop-a-recurring-expense-1u4wujo/)
* Invoice / receipt: you can upload a photo / PDF
* Invoice / receipt number
* Accounting code: useful if you work with accounting codes
* Comment
