I recommend one of the Asana solutions I outlined here:

> Track billing and payments easily in Asana with a numeric dollar amount custom field (requires any paid plan). You can also use this for loans and repayments. Use a positive number for the amount billed, a negative number for each payment, and see the current balance automatically at the foot of each section. See Customer 1 - Project 1 below for a simple example. Recurring (weekly, monthly) payments are a breeze by setting the Due date to repeat; marking complete will add the next recurrence be…

The same task in a PTO project could be multihomed to such a private project, optionally with the employee granted collaborator access to their task only.

Subsequent to that are formula fields if more calculation is required, but I don’t think that’s necessary.
