Terms in plain words
- Total owner costs (€/m² a month, incl. utilities)

- 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.
- Association fees per year (€, all flats together)
- The same charges as a yearly total for all flats (the report's "member fees").
