Income is this month's booked income, net of refunds and chargebacks. Costs are this month's booked costs, including recurring costs already booked. A negative costs-minus-income figure means income is above the costs logged so far.

The reached-on day is the first day with booked activity when income since the start of the month met or exceeded costs since the start of the month. Recurring costs count on their booked date.

These figures always describe the current month, even when another date range is selected above. Missing amounts are not estimated.

Revenue and profit trend

Monthly revenue with final net-margin context. Partial periods are marked.

Scale
Solid line is revenue, read against the dollar scale on the right, the same side as the Home chart. Dashed line is final net margin, read against the percent scale on the left. A partial period is a hollow dot reached by a dashed line and has no margin value.
