* As of April 2024, the monthly server cost is $103.95. This will go up annually adjusted for cost-of-living increases.  The bank account balance currently stands at around $4100.
(a) A number of donations are made towards the end of the month, generally via PayPal. Because it takes several days for our bank account to process PayPal transfers, it is easier for me to do the bookkeeping if I wait until the 4th or 5th of the following month to process the accounts—this way my figures of money in and money out jibe with the bank figures of what is actually in our account.<br/>
* In March of 2022, there was a major hardware and software upgrade, and we paid for two servers through May. The old server cost $74.95/mo, and the newer one $99/mo. This major upgrade was generously supported by free technical work by Sergei Chekanov.
(b) The migration to a cheaper service is now complete. The monthly charge by the service provider will be $99.95. This month also includes a $12.00 bank charge for having a monthly balance below the minimum required.<br/>
* We were overcharged for about six months of server costs during 2022. '''This overpayment will be used in 2023 to pay for the first six months of server costs.'''
(c) Our bank account was over the average minimum balance for the first time in a couple of years, hence there was no service charge.
<br/>
<br/>
(d) The bank requires a balance of $1500 in order to avoid monthly fees.
<br/>
(e) The above charts reflect a calendar month and not the fiscal month. The figures shown reflect the financial situation as of the last calendar day of that month.
