Your Accounting tab - income, expenses, and what you keep
What the practitioner Accounting tab shows - completed-session income, kept deposits, manual income, your expenses, and the summary that breaks gross into studio cut and your net.
Your Accounting tab is your personal money picture: what you earned, what you spent, and what you keep, for a period you choose. It's part of your paid practitioner features. This guide covers what's on it; adding your own entries is in Logging income and expenses by hand.
Step by step
- 1
Read the summary card
The card at the top sums up the period. If you're on a commission arrangement with a studio, it breaks down as Gross Income → Studio Cut → Your Income, then your expenses and Net Profit. With no studio cut, it's the simpler Total Income → Total Expenses → Net Profit. See Studio cut vs your net for the breakdown.

Know where your income comes from
Three things feed your income:
- Completed sessions — these flow in automatically once a session is marked complete.
- Kept deposits — when a booking was cancelled or no-showed and you kept the deposit.
- Manual income — anything you add by hand (a walk-in, a tip, an older session).

See your expenses
The Expenses tab lists what you've recorded, grouped by category. You add and edit these yourself — see the next guide.

Pick the period
Tap the period at the top to change the date range. The summary, the lists, and the export all follow whatever period you pick.
Frequently asked questions
- Why does a completed session show no income, or my numbers look low?
Income only counts a session once it's marked complete. A confirmed-but-not-yet-done session doesn't count yet.
- I work in a currency that isn't the euro. Will my totals be right?
Yes — the tab shows your own currency. If your income spans more than one currency, a combined total is shown using approximate rates — see How InkMap shows amounts in one currency.

- What a settlement is, and who's holding the moneyHow InkMap tracks a booking's money — the deposit and remainder pieces, who's holding each, and why a card only appears when money actually needs to move.
- How InkMap shows amounts in one currencyWhen a total combines amounts in different currencies, InkMap converts them with an approximate rate table - for display only, never for real payments.
