Can I remove an added actual personnel expense row? The *Actual Personnel Expenses* dashboard in Bizplan, located under **Finance \> Personnel \> Actuals**, presents a monthly breakdown of your team's financial activity. This section helps you monitor how well actual spending aligns with your budget by displaying detailed data in a structured and intuitive format. --- #### 📊 What information does the table include? The dashboard displays monthly columns from January to December and includes the following key metrics: - **Actual Personnel Cost** – The amount actually spent on personnel for each month. - **Planned Personnel Cost** – The amount you originally budgeted. - **Planned vs. Actual Deviation** – The difference between planned and actual spending. - **Planned vs. Actual Deviation (%)** – The percentage difference to help assess variance at a glance. These figures are shown in rows under a section titled *Personnel Costs*, allowing you to easily track patterns or discrepancies in your spending. --- #### ➕ How do you add a new expense row? To add a new row for tracking actual personnel expenses: 1. **Refresh the Page** Simply reload the *Actuals* tab. Upon refreshing, a new row will appear automatically. 2. **Locate the “New Expense” Row** The new row will be labeled “New Expense” and will be placed at the bottom of the existing list. 3. **Rename the Row** Click into the row label to rename it based on the nature of the expense (e.g., “Marketing Contractor” or “Annual Bonus”). --- #### ⚠️ How do you remove an expense row—and what should you know? You can remove any added expense row by clicking the “X” icon at the end of the row. However, **use this feature with caution**: > 🚫 **Deleting an expense row is permanent and cannot be undone.** > Once a row is deleted, all associated data is lost and cannot be recovered. This action is best reserved for rows added in error or unused placeholders. - [Startups.com Customer Support](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/startups-com-customer-support?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Account Subscription](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/startups-com-customer-support?hsLang=en#account-subscription) - [Membership Features](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/startups-com-customer-support?hsLang=en#membership-features) - [Investor Matching](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/startups-com-customer-support?hsLang=en#investor-matching) - [Perks and Benefits](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/startups-com-customer-support?hsLang=en#perks-and-benefits) - [Startups.com Site Content Help](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/startups-com-site-content-help?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/startups-com-site-content-help?hsLang=en#general) - [Fundable](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/fundable?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/fundable?hsLang=en#general) - [Getting Started on Fundable](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/fundable?hsLang=en#getting-started-on-fundable) - [Equity Campaigns](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/fundable?hsLang=en#equity-campaigns) - [Creating a Fundable Profile](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/fundable?hsLang=en#creating-a-fundable-profile) - [Investors](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/fundable?hsLang=en#investors) - [Legal](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/fundable?hsLang=en#legal) - [Payments & Fees](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/fundable?hsLang=en#payments-fees) - [Clarity.fm](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/clarity-fm?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/clarity-fm?hsLang=en#general) - [Calls](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/clarity-fm?hsLang=en#calls) - [Member FAQs](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/clarity-fm?hsLang=en#member-faqs) - [Expert FAQs](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/clarity-fm?hsLang=en#expert-faqs) - [Privacy & Security](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/clarity-fm?hsLang=en#privacy-security) - [Payments & Fees](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/clarity-fm?hsLang=en#payments-fees) - [Getting Started on Clarity](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/clarity-fm?hsLang=en#getting-started-on-clarity) - [Your Clarity Account](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/clarity-fm?hsLang=en#your-clarity-account) - [Frequently Asked Questions](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/clarity-fm?hsLang=en#frequently-asked-questions) - [Bizplan](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/bizplan?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Customizing Plan](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/bizplan?hsLang=en#customizing-plan) - [Getting Started](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/bizplan?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [Managing Account](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/bizplan?hsLang=en#managing-account) - [Finance](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/bizplan?hsLang=en#finance) - [Support](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/bizplan?hsLang=en#support) - [Companies](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/bizplan?hsLang=en#companies) - [Publishing](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/bizplan?hsLang=en#publishing) - [Launchrock](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/launchrock?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Custom URLs / DNS Settings / Using Your Domain](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/launchrock?hsLang=en#custom-urls-dns-settings-using-your-domain) - [General Questions](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/launchrock?hsLang=en#general-questions) - [Getting Started on Launchrock](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/launchrock?hsLang=en#getting-started-on-launchrock) - [Video Tutorials](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/launchrock?hsLang=en#video-tutorials) - [Your Launchrock Account](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/launchrock?hsLang=en#your-launchrock-account) - [Payments & Fees](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/launchrock?hsLang=en#payments-fees) - [Blog](https://help.startups.com/blog) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://help.startups.com/hs-fs/hubfs/startupscom-logo-420.png?width=84&height=24&name=startupscom-logo-420.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://startups.com) Copyright © 2026, Startups.com
