Where does my revenue come from, and what am I giving away? This report is built like a small income statement: what you charged, minus what reduced it, equals what you kept.

​
What’s on this dashboard

Two charts. Both show 💰 money excluding tax, and both are activity: each value covers the period it sits in. Only finalized invoices count. Nothing else on this page moves until an invoice is finalized.
Each amount lands on the day the fee was created. That is usually the invoice day, but not always. When it differs, this report and Invoices put the same money in different months.

​
Gross revenue

Everything you charged for, before anything was taken off.

​
Contra revenue

Contra revenue = everything that reduced what you charged. It is drawn below zero, so the chart reads like a statement: charged, minus given back, equals kept.

​
Net revenue

Gross revenue minus contra revenue. It appears only in the details table, as a single line. It is deliberately kept out of the stacked chart, because stacking it next to gross and contra would count the same money twice.
Net revenue is what you newly billed, which is not always what you earned. Coupons, credit notes and free credits reduce what you earned: you gave value away. Prepaid credits and progressive billing do not: that money was already paid, or already invoiced earlier in the period. On an invoice paid entirely with credits, gross revenue is what you earned and net revenue is zero.
Splitting contra revenue by plan or customer is an estimate. Coupons, credit notes, credits and progressive billing sit on the invoice, not on the subscription. When one invoice covers several subscriptions, those amounts are divided evenly across them. Gross revenue is exact, because a fee belongs to one subscription.

What’s not included (for now)

  • Taxes. Every line is net of tax. Invoice totals with tax are on Invoices.
  • Draft, voided, failed and pending invoices. Only finalized invoices count. Voiding an old invoice removes it, so a closed month can fall later.
  • Wallet top-ups. The customer prepaid, so the money is counted as they spend the credits on usage. Counting the top-up too would count it twice. See Credit ledgers.
  • Partner accounts and self-billed invoices. See Revenue share.
  • Usage that has not been invoiced. It has no fee yet. See Usage.

​
Common questions

Three reasons. The dates differ: here each amount lands on the day the fee was created, there on the invoice’s issuing date. Tax differs: this page is net of tax, invoice totals include it. And reductions differ: here coupons and credits are separate lines, an invoice total already has them applied.
In gross revenue, on the day the usage was invoiced. The credits they spent appear as contra revenue on the same invoice, because that part was paid for earlier. The top-up itself is left out so the same money is not counted twice.
It leaves the report, so last quarter’s gross, contra and net all fall overnight. These charts always show today’s state of the invoice. For periods that stay fixed once closed, use Revenue recognition.
So you can see both figures. Gross stays as charged, the credit note gets its own line, and net is what remains. A credit note issued later lands in the later month, not in the month of the original invoice.
Because Usage counts consumption whether or not it has been invoiced. Consumption from an open billing period has no fee yet, and usage absorbed by a minimum commitment is billed as a commitment fee instead.
