Fixed expenses are regular costs that stay roughly the same each month.

Fixed expenses are regular costs that stay roughly the same each month. Rent, insurance premiums, loan payments, and subscriptions are typical examples. They are the baseline of your budget: the spending you plan around first.

Why fixed expenses matter

Because fixed expenses repeat predictably, they define the minimum amount you need each month to keep life running. Total them up before planning anything else, and you know exactly how much of your income is already spoken for.

Fixed expenses sit alongside variable expenses in most budgets. Together, they determine your disposable income.

Managing fixed expenses

Review fixed costs at least once a year. Cancel subscriptions you no longer use, compare insurance quotes, and check whether your phone or energy contract still offers the best rate. Use bunq Budgeting to track recurring payments so nothing renews without you noticing.
