# How is my invoice composed?

Learn how sipgate’s prepaid billing model works and how your monthly invoice is composed.

#### **How is my bill made up?**

Unlike most other invoices you receive, costs at sipgate are billed as a prepaid model. On your invoices, the debit amount is listed with the designation **Telephony credit** shown. This amount is generated through an automatic debit, a bank transfer, or a manual debit from the account. You can find your monthly invoices as an administrator in the **account management** under **Account & Invoices**. In addition, your invoice is sent to the email address stored in your account under billing address.

A good overview of the booking transactions is provided by the **sipgate payment overview**, which you as account admin can view under **Account** → **Administration → Payment** and there under **Transactions** You can see there exactly what the amount for a specific debit was used for. You can find the itemized call records under **Account → Administration → Detailed call records**. These provide an overview of all **chargeable** connections within a month.

It may happen that you do not receive a debit and invoice from us every month, because after deducting all costs, the **debit limit** has not yet been reached. So it can happen that debits are carried out at a later time.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.sipgate.de/cloud-telefonanlage/en/account-management/vertrage-rechnungen-und-preise/wie-setzt-sich-meine-rechnung-zusammen.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
