Terms in plain words
- Total owner costs (€/m² a month, incl. utilities)
- Everything owners paid the association (the report's flat table), heating, water and electricity included, divided by the flats' floor area and 12 months. Closest to what an owner actually pays each month.
- Association fees (€/m² a month, excl. utilities)
- The association's own charges — upkeep, management, repair fund, loan, insurance — without utilities, per m² of flats a month.
- Typical flat per month (€ a month)

- Repair fund balance (€ at year end)
- Money saved for future repairs and not yet spent, at the end of the financial year.
- Repair fund balance (€ per m² of flats)
- The repair fund balance divided by the flats' floor area, so buildings of any size compare. Not a monthly charge.
- Repair-fund charge (€/m² a month)
- The part of the fees that goes into the repair fund.
- Loan balance (€ at year end)
- The unpaid part of the association's loan at year end. It stays with the building when a flat is sold; repayments are part of the monthly fees.

- The same charges as a yearly total for all flats (the report's "member fees").
