# Read your account statement

You will know where every charge on your account came from and have the invoice, ledger, or
usage report that shows it, as a PDF or CSV. The statement is at **Billing > Account
Statement**.

## Before you begin

The reports fill as you use products; a brand-new account has no rows yet.

## Pick the report

The statement opens on **Invoices**. The tabs along the top are:

| Tab                        | What it shows                                                                                                                                               | Who sees it      |

| **Usage Details**          | One row per resource per day: rate, hours, amount, and project, before GST.                                                                                 | Prepaid          |
| **Infra Credit Details**   | Every credit and debit on the balance, with **Infra Credits Used** and **Infra Credits Available**.                                                         | Prepaid          |

| **TDS Details**            | The credits withheld for TDS and released against certificates.                                                                                             | TDS enabled, INR |

## Invoices

An invoice is issued when you buy infra credits and, on a postpaid account, at the end of each
billing cycle. Its status is one of:

- **Unsigned Invoice**: issued, and the digitally signed copy follows within 48 hours.
- **Sent** and **Unpaid**: issued, payment due.
- **Paid**, **Partially Paid**, and **Overdue**.

Click the download icon on a row for the PDF, or **Add Filter** to show one status, for
example every **Unpaid** invoice. After an online payment, the status can take up to three
hours to change.

## Usage, by day or by month

**Usage Details** answers "what did I run, and when": choose a **Date Range**, and each row is
one resource on one day, with its rate, the hours it ran, the amount, and the project. Filter
by item or by project with the two filter icons, search, and download as **CSV** or **PDF**.
Amounts are before GST.

**Monthly Usage Details** answers "what did last month cost": choose a month under **Select
Month**, and each row is one item with region, rate, quantity, any discount, and the total,
with the same filters and downloads. New usage can take up to three hours to appear on either.

## Cost analysis

**Cost Analysis** charts what you spend. Under **Select Service**, choose **All** or one of
**Nodes**, **Load Balancers**, **Saved Image**, **CDP Backups**, **VPC**, **Object Storage**,
**CDN**, and **Volume**; under **Select Period**, choose **Previous Month**, **Last 6 Months**,
or **Last 12 Months**. It is the quickest way to see which product a rising bill comes from.

## Ledger

**Ledger** is the full account of money in and money out. Under **Choose Duration**, pick
**This Month**, **This Quarter**, **This Year**, **Previous Year**, or **Custom** for your own
dates, and click **Download PDF**. New transactions reach the ledger within a few hours; a
bank transfer can take up to two working days. If your billing profile has changed, for
example the name or GSTIN, the ledger is split at the change, and the tab lists each period
separately.

For the balance at a glance, the Billing dashboard's **Settle Payment** shows the current
infra credits and the current usage. To act on what you found,
[buy infra credits](/myaccount/billing/how-to/buy-infra-credits/),
[set a low balance alert](/myaccount/billing/how-to/set-a-low-balance-alert/) from the Cost
Analysis tab, or [claim a TDS refund](/myaccount/billing/how-to/claim-a-tds-refund/) for the
withheld credits on TDS Details.
