# Difference Between Subsistence and Expenses

### Subsistence

Subsistence is a small allowance for Crew that is always paid out on top of the salary, eg. lunch or travel.

### Expense Budget

An Expense Budget is one or more items that the Crew must upload a photograph of a receipt for in the Crew App. A claim must then be submitted by the Crew for approval by an Admin. If it is not approved it will not be added to the Crew's salary.
