If your payment plan includes IrisX credits, your invoice will show details about your IrisX billing and credit consumption. The information you see depends on whether you have a Pay as you go or Pre-commit plan.
This article explains the different line items on your invoice and how they relate to your IrisX payment plan.
Pay as you go
With a Pay as you go plan, you pay for the exact number of IrisX credits consumed each month.
Your Pay as you go invoice includes the following information:
Item number: You’ll see PayG as the item number. This indicates that you have a Pay as you go plan.
Description: This shows the invoice period. You are charged for the previous month’s usage. For example, if the description says 01.07.2026–31.07.2026, you are charged for the IrisX credits you consumed in June 2026
Quantity: The exact number of IrisX credits consumed during the billed month. You can compare this number with the usage shown in your credit consumption dashboard. See how to check your credit consumption
Term: The number of months included in the invoice. For monthly billing, this will typically be 1.
Rate: Your agreed price per IrisX credit, shown in the currency specified in your contract. The net amount is calculated as: Quantity × Rate = Net amount (excluding taxes)
Pre-commit
With a Pre-commit plan, you purchase a fixed number of IrisX credits in advance. You can consume these credits throughout your contract period, which is typically 12 months.
Your Pre-commit invoice will include two line items.
First line: Billing
1. Description: The first line shows the period you’re being billed for. Billing frequency depends on your contract and is typically every 12 months.
2. Rate: Shows the amount due for the billing period specified in your contract, excluding taxes.
Second line: IrisX credits
3. Description: The second line shows your contract period, typically 12 months. This is the time period you have to consume your credits.
4. Quantity: You’ll see the total number of IrisX credits you’ve purchased for that contract period.
Checking your invoice against your credit consumption dashboard
If you want to better understand the credit consumption reflected on your invoice, you can use the credit consumption dashboard to get a more detailed view of your IrisX credit consumption.
The dashboard lets you explore what activities are consuming credits and gives you additional context behind the consumption shown on your invoice.
FAQs
Why might an invoice look different than expected?
Why might an invoice look different than expected?
The invoice total is calculated from tiered pricing and daily usage counts within IrisX, but only the monthly total appears on the invoice itself, not the tier breakdown.
If a usage pattern changes, or fleet size changes, an invoice can look different than expected. The credit consumption dashboard shows the daily breakdown behind any invoice.
How is budget handled for usage that varies month to month?
How is budget handled for usage that varies month to month?
There's no single fixed total with consumption-based pricing, but spend is fully visible as it happens. Pay as you go allows spend to align with actual use. Pre-commit provides a fixed credit pool to plan against, with consumption still visible throughout the term.
