The Finance page can be split into two sections: revenue and expense. Note the page is formatted into two sections by giving you a total revenue and, separately, total costs.
 Also, the left and right columns show different data. On the left, you'll find your daily income and costs, such as ticket prices and staff expense, to date. This a running total of all revenues and costs   accumulated in this month. The right column shows your Projected Totals. This means the amount of money that has gone in or has been spent at the end of the month, providing none of the amounts change.

-Fuel and staff costs are factored in already when you [[Create Route|create a route]], but they are listed here again for your convenience. For each flight, you have to pay for the used fuel, and naturally, you'll have to pay the pilot's and cabin crew's wages. The wages are hourly rates that take into account flying time and duty time, for preparation before flights and time on the ground. These costs are withdrawn from your account each day. In the [[Glossary#DOP|DOP]], these costs have already been factored in, so you don't have to recalculate it.
+Fuel costs are factored in already when you [[Create Route|create a route]], but they are listed here again for your convenience. For each flight, you have to pay for the used fuel. The fuel usage of aircraft types vary, with turboprops being more efficient than turbojet or turbofan aircraft. Every year the fuel cost adjusts, matching closely to what the average was for that year in real life. The game will automatically adjust your expenses as the fuel cost changes.
 === Miscellaneous Expenses ===
-Miscellaneous Fees are fees that you obtain from the services in your airplane. In the [[Admin Panel]], you can [[Admin Panel#Meal & Drinks Prices|set the prices]] of your meals and drinks. If they are set too low--for example, €0.01--you will actually LOSE money from having extremely cheap food and wine.

 === Gate Rental Fees ===
-The total value of gates you have rented, make up your gate rental fee. When [[Rent Gates|renting a gate]], you'll notice a rental fee (ranging from €25.000 to €350.000), which you'll have to pay for each gate you rent from that airport. The gate rental fee is withdrawn from your bank account at the end of every month.

 At the end of the list, the last gray bar shows you the total profit (or loss) of your airline every month. It is very common, at the beginning of the game month, for the left side to show a loss (in red). As long as your projected profit (the right side) is positive (in black), you have nothing to worry about, except making that number grow. If the right side is also red, you need to reorganize your airline or, perhaps, ask for a reset.
