When to use it
When you read the Home screen or a report and want to know what each figure means.
Where to find it
- Home → cards and “More figures”
- Reports → profit and cash cards, balances
What you need
- Nothing to enter — these figures are calculated from your entries.
Steps
- Profit = earned income − expenses, by the days they belong to. If expenses are larger, it shows as a loss.
- Net cash movement = money received − money paid, by the days money actually moved. It is not the cash in your hand: the app does not know how much you had at the start.
- “As of” balances show what is still open at the end of a chosen day: still to collect, unpaid expenses, advance held and owed to drivers.
- Income is due from the first day of its period; an expense from its expense date. Only receipts, payments, adjustments and reductions dated on or before that day reduce them.
Examples
- Earned income
- ৳ 20,000
- Expenses
- ৳ 8,000
- Profit
- ৳ 12,000
- Money received
- ৳ 15,000
- Money paid
- ৳ 6,000
- Net cash movement
- ৳ 9,000
Not a cash balance.
- February rent (1–28 Feb)
- ৳ 24,000
- Received 25 Jan, applied to it
- ৳ 3,000
- As of 31 Jan: advance held
- ৳ 3,000
- As of 1 Feb: still to collect
- ৳ 21,000
Money for a period that has not started yet counts as an advance until the period begins.
All amounts are examples.
Result
You can read profit (how the business did) and cash (how money moved) side by side without mixing them.
Mistakes and exceptions
- Do not treat net cash movement as profit, or profit as cash in hand.
- “Adjusted against rent” is never part of money received or money paid.
- A driver’s expected deposit never counts as income.
Correct or undo
- Figures are recalculated from your entries every time, so correcting an entry corrects every report that uses it.
