Reimbursements

These tables can help with identifying which reimbursable expenses have and haven’t been paid back. The “Reimbursed by” column establishes a direct link between expenses and reimbursement transactions, a feature YNAB doesn’t natively support.
I use the approach of tracking reimbursements to catch mistakes I used to make. My “reimbursable” category balance rarely gets fully restored since I have frequent work expenses. Sometimes I would forget to split the expenses properly, but with the balance never being fully replenished it was hard to know if the reimbursement transactions really had the same total dollar amount as the corresponding expenses.
In this template, you can toggle which categories are reimbursable in the table.

Here’s a timeline showing spans of times from when reimbursable expenses were incurred until they were paid back. The average time to get reimbursed was
4 days 8 hrs
. This may not be a particularly useful chart, but it shows some of what’s possible:
