disbursements

Money paid out

Disbursements are payments made from a fund or account, typically by an institution or organization.

The term appears in legal, financial, and administrative contexts: The attorney's bill included fees plus disbursements for filing costs and expert witnesses.

A lawyer's disbursements are expenses paid on a client's behalf.

Government disbursements flow to beneficiaries of programs.

The word emphasizes money going out rather than coming in.
