We read your file with automatic detection. Check each levy field points at the right column — fix any that are wrong — then run the audit. Your file stays in your browser.

💡 Tip: upload confirmed / checked-out bookings only. If your export includes cancellations or no-shows, remove them first — otherwise they may be counted in the levy.
