# Reports

Net worth, Profit & loss, Budget and Cash flow, and how to print or export them.

**What you'll learn:** what each report shows, how to change its dates, and how to print or export it.

Open **Reports** from the bottom bar or, on narrow phones, **More › Reports**. There are four tabs.

| Tab               | Shows                                                         | Accountants call it                             |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **Net worth**     | Your assets and liabilities on a date, and the difference     | Balance sheet / statement of financial position |
| **Profit & loss** | Income and expenses over a period, and your net income        | Income statement                                |
| **Budget**        | Each budgeted account against its budget or income target     | Budget vs actual                                |
| **Cash flow**     | Cash received and paid, grouped by where it came from or went | Cash flow statement (direct method)             |

## Two columns, two periods

Every report compares two columns: **Compare with** on the left and **Report date** (for Net worth) or **Report period** (for the others) on the right. An arrow marks whether a figure went up ▲ or down ▼.

* **Net worth** compares two dates, for example *Today vs end of last month*.
* **Profit & loss**, **Budget** and **Cash flow** compare two periods, for example *This month so far vs all of last month*.

## Change the dates

Each column has its own picker. Tap the underlined date or period at the top of a column.

**Report period** (Profit & loss, Budget and Cash flow) opens **Select report periods**:

* **Today**, **This week so far**, **This month so far**, **This quarter so far** or **This year so far**
* **Last week**, **Last month**, **Last quarter** or **Last year**
* **Custom date range** to pick your own

**Compare with** sets the other column:

* **All of the previous period**: this month so far vs all of last month
* **Same days of the previous period**: Oct 1–28 vs Sep 1–28
* **Same period last year**: Oct 1–28, 2026 vs Oct 1–28, 2025. A week goes back 52 weeks, so the weekdays line up.
* **Custom date range**

For a custom report period, the first choice reads **Previous range of same length**. A choice that would repeat another for the period you picked is greyed out. Each report remembers its own choice.

For **Net worth**, **Report date** is **Today** or a **Custom date**, and **Compare with** is **End of previous week**, **month**, **quarter** or **year**, **Same day of previous year**, or a **Custom date**.

## Filter and sort

Tap the filter button in the toolbar to:

* on **Net worth**, **Show accounts with zero balance**, or hide them
* on **Profit & loss**, **Show accounts with no transaction**
* on **Budget**, **Show accounts without budgets or targets** that have amounts, and then **Show accounts with no transaction** to add the unused ones too
* **Show category subtotals** (not on Cash flow)
* **Sort by** amount or account name

## By label

In **Profit & loss**, tap **⋮ › By label** and choose a label to see the income and expenses of the transactions with that label: *In*, *Out* and *Net*. Transfers and other entries without income or expenses don't count.

With **Show category subtotals** on, category headings show each category's subtotal.

## Drill down

Tap an account in a report to see the transactions behind it. In **Cash flow**, tap a line to see the cash breakdown for that account.

## Print or export

1. Open the report and set the dates you want.
2. Tap **⋮ › Print or export**.
3. Choose **Print**, **Save as PDF**, **Save as CSV**, **Share PDF** or **Share CSV**.

### Statement of account

For a single account, open it from **Accounts**, tap the list button (☰) to see its transactions, then tap **⋮ › Print or export statement**. The statement lists every transaction with its debit, credit and running balance. See [Account transactions](/accountant/accounts/account-transactions.md).

## Notes on the numbers

* All amounts are in your **reporting currency**. Foreign balances are converted with the rate for each date. A value shows as **—** when a rate is missing. See [Multi-currency](/accountant/transactions/multi-currency.md).
* **Profit & loss** shows **Foreign exchange gain (loss)** separately, after **Net income before exchange gain (loss)**. If you hold [stocks or funds](/accountant/accounts/stocks-and-funds.md), their price changes show as **Change in investment value**, and the subtotal reads **Net income before value changes**. Nothing is posted for either; they're worked out when the report is shown.
* **Budget** sizes each budget by its cycle over whole calendar periods, as Home does. A monthly budget counts three times for a quarter, a weekly one 31/7 times for October, and *this month so far* is compared with the whole month's budget. See [Budgets](/accountant/planning/budgets.md).
* **Cash flow** includes only accounts marked as **Cash account**.
* Drafts and scheduled transactions aren't included until they're posted.
