====== Budget ======

===== How much does the project cost per year? =====
We're spending money for:
  * A VPS for the web site (OVH, 2,39€/month)
  * A VPS for the test web site so that we don't break down the production site and we can tinker with it safely (OVH, 2,39€/month)
  * A more powerful VPS for the game server (Behost, 4,79€/month)
  * A dedicated server for storage (Kimsufi, 11,99€/month)
  * The domain name //khaganat.net// to which a mailbox is attached (Gandi, 14€/year)

During the previous years, we were also paying for a SSL certificate by Gandi, but this year we'll try the free solution by [[https://letsencrypt.org/|Let's Encrypt]]. 

We also have some charges related to the banking account, which we are trying to reduce at the minimum, but those rascals are tenacious.

==== Budget closed for year 2015 ====

^ Cost item ^ Yearly cost in euros ^
| Servers | 185,55 |
| Domain name | 14 |
| SSL Certificate | 14,4 |
| Bank charges | 0 |
| **Sum** | 213,95 |

==== Projected budget for year 2016 ====

^ Cost item ^ Yearly cost in euros ^
| Servers | 258,72 |
| Domaine name | 14|
| Bank charges | 3,70 |
| **Sum** | 276,42 |

An increase in the servers budget item, since we've taken a slightly more powerful VPX for the game server, and on the previous year we had started the kimsufi in the progress of the year.

===== Incomes =====
We're working only thanks to donations.

On January 1st 2016, we had 559,31€ in reserve, which will allow us to cover the base expenses for 2016. Thanks to all our generous sponsors!

[[kh>bienvenue/en:soutien|Yes, I love Khaganat and I want for this project to grow, so I donate!]]

==== How much can I spend ideally to support the project? ====
Currently, our expenses are balanced. That's why we're encouraging you to donate using the [[https://liberapay.com/Khaganat/|Liberapay]] plateforme: it will continue to fund a bit the material side and will start to fund also the work of Khaganat's peoples. For those of them who have registered to the Khaganat team of Liberapay, more money means more time to spend on the project.

Ideally, 3€ per week for the project, or 12€ per month, or 156€per year are generous donations, especially if lots of people are donating!
