Profitability

The Profitability card on the Dashboard, right under the overview cards, shows your income (excluding VAT), costs, profit and profit margin for the dashboard's period, with a short statement under them: income − expense transactions − cost of living = profit. It is available on every plan.

The Dashboard shows two money figures. They answer different questions, so they have different names:

• Net earnings (overview cards): what your tracked work is worth — the value of your tracked time, billed and not yet billed, minus your cost of living. It ignores transactions and whether you have been paid.
• Profit (Profitability card): what the business actually kept — money in (paid invoices excluding VAT, plus income transactions) minus money out (expense transactions, plus cost of living).

1. 1
   Open the Dashboard
2. 2
   Pick a period with Week, Month or Year and the arrows (or ← / →)
3. 3
   The card updates for that period, whole days included: Month means the 1st to the last day of the month

• Income = paid invoices excluding VAT + income transactions. The VAT on your invoices is collected for the tax office, so it is never counted as income; the card shows it on its own muted line (Invoice VAT, not counted as income).
• Costs = expense transactions + cost of living. The statement shows both lines.
• Profit = income − costs. A negative profit is shown in red.
• Profit margin = profit ÷ income, as a percentage (0% when there is no income).

Everything is shown in your billing entity's default currency. Invoices and transactions in other currencies are converted to it; cost of living is entered in that currency already.

Cost of living is spread evenly over each day of its period and charged for every day of the range up to today — never for future days. With no start date, the range starts at your earliest cost entry.

• Working alone: it is your own cost of living — set in Settings → Invoicing → Business profile on your default billing entity, or as your member cost in any other entity.
• On a team billing entity: it is the whole team — the sum of every current member’s own cost history (set by an admin under Settings → Team & access → Members). AI agents and former members are not counted. The line then reads Team cost (all N members).
• If no cost is recorded for the period, the card says so and links straight to the place to set it.

• Free: the summary — income, costs, profit and profit margin, with the statement — within the 30-day history window.
• Pro: the same card over your full history, with a breakdown by currency under it when you work in more than one currency (income and expense transactions in their own currency, and the exchange rate used for each), plus the deeper breakdowns — cost and net earnings per category on the dashboard, margin per invoice on the invoice page, and net earnings per member on a team.

The card shows the last figures loaded for a period. For a period you never opened while online, it says it is not available offline instead of showing a misleading zero.
