disbursement

If it is things you have to pay in general, and especially if it is in the plural, then "expenditure" or even "expenses" or "costs" will fill the bill.

If it is a specific payment, then "disbursement" is the way to go.

By the way, when going the other way round, from English to Spanish, be careful, because I have had texts recently in which the writer has confused the word with "ingress", particularly in engineering contexts, where people wanted to say something like "access"

expenditure


It's the opposite of "ingreso", i.e. "revenue"

The word "egress" actually exists in English as well.
