What this benchmark cannot tell you

Income and expenditure are annual-return totals. They are not the percentage of each donation used for a cause, and the gap between them is not free cash or charity reserves.

The Charity Commission defines reserves from unrestricted funds after exclusions and says there is no single correct reserves level. You need the filed accounts, reserves policy and fund notes for that question.
