# 3.1.4 Create Fees and Track Associated Costs (Optional)

Learn how to add additional charges to your rate plans, keep track of related costs, and configure how they appear on your direct booking website and Monthly Profit Reports (MPRs)

Managing additional charges is an important part of setting up your pricing strategy. Fees allow you to charge guests for extra services or costs related to their stay, such as cleaning, parking, or other property-related expenses.

Adding fees helps you provide transparent pricing to guests while keeping better control over your revenue and expenses.

## **Do You Need This?**

 **Yes** - if you charge guests separately for additional services or costs related to their booking.

 **No** - if you are not charging any additional fees other than the nightly accommodation fee. In that case, you can continue with [**Creating Promotions and Discount Codes**](https://support.zeevou.com/en-gb/articles/130-create-promotions-and-discount-codes-optional.md)**.**

## Financial Tracking and Automated Expenses

Zeevou’s **Expense** **category** helps move costs out of "Unclassified" and into specific buckets for better financial clarity.

-   **Automatic Expense Generation:** When a booking is created with fees that have a "Purchase Price," Zeevou automatically generates corresponding expense lines.
    
-   **Default Categorization:** If no specific **Expense Type** is assigned to a fee, it will appear under the default **Fees/Upsells Expense** category in your reports.
    
-   **Precision Reporting:** By assigning specific types (e.g., "Cleaning Fee - HK"), you can see a granular breakdown of your costs versus revenue on your MPRs.
