What the figures coverSource boundaries and missing cost topics

Component-only references: Utilities. These categories publish components or unit prices, not a whole amount. Open the full component list below.

No cost figure: Rent, Groceries, Transport, Fuel, Internet and mobile, Healthcare and insurance, Childcare, Education, Leisure. Enter your own amount in the budget if you know it.
