Meters — electricity & water

Add a meter per unit, then enter a reading each month — the charge lands on that month's invoice automatically.

Add a meter to a unit

Tap "+ Add Meter", choose electricity or water, and give it a label if there's more than one (e.g. "Main").

Enter the current reading

Pick the month, then enter the Current reading — Previous auto-fills from last month's Current and locks once a history exists, so you only ever type one number a month after the first.

The charge is calculated (or entered)

Water: set a Rate per unit once, and Claybricks calculates the charge for you: (Current − Previous) × Rate. Electricity: there's no rate — enter the charge manually, since it's usually a pass-through of your actual electricity bill.

Saving a reading updates that month's invoice immediately if it already exists — you don't have to wait for the next billing cycle to see the charge reflected.
