Profit and loss

Revenue, cost of sales, gross margin and operating expense for any period you choose.

Profit and loss in SigmaPointPi
/accounting/pnl

The profit and loss statement built directly from the ledger. Every line opens to the entries behind it, so a figure that looks wrong is one click from its cause.

Comparison against the prior period and the same period last year runs alongside, because a number in isolation rarely tells you anything.

How to work this page

Choose the period and the basis

Accrual matches revenue to when it was earned. Cash matches it to when money moved. The basis is set once for the business and every statement follows it.

Read gross margin before net

Gross margin is the health of what you sell. Net includes overhead you can change more slowly. Confusing a margin problem with a cost problem leads to cutting the wrong thing.

Compare like for like

Prior period and prior year sit beside the current column. A seasonal business only makes sense against the same period last year.

Open anything that surprises you

Every line drills to its accounts and then to its individual entries.

Profit and loss on iPhone 15 Pro Max

Every figure from the desktop appears here, stacked rather than reduced. Tables scroll inside themselves so the page never moves sideways, and figures keep their separators and their alignment at every width.

Questions people actually ask

Why does this differ from my bank balance?

Profit is not cash. Revenue earned and uncollected sits in profit and not in the bank. The cash flow statement reconciles the two.

Where do founder distributions appear?

Not here. A distribution is a return of equity, not an expense, and putting it in the profit and loss overstates your costs and understates your profit.
