The Revenue tab

What the Revenue tab shows — net and gross revenue, the monthly revenue bar chart, revenue split by service, and the kept-deposit total from cancelled bookings.

The Revenue tab answers "how much did I make?". It only counts money from completed sessions — pending and confirmed-but-future bookings don't add to your revenue here.

  • Net Revenue vs Gross Revenue

    The two KPI cards at the top:

    • Net Revenue — what you actually take home. After any studio cuts (commission to your home studio, commission on a guest spot, etc.).
    • Gross Revenue — the full session price before those cuts.

    If you're independent and don't pay commission on any of your work, the two numbers are identical. If you're a resident or do guest spots on commission terms, Gross is higher than Net — and the gap is what your studio takes.

  • Monthly Net Revenue

    The bar chart in the middle. One bar per month (or week, or day — the bucket auto-adjusts to your selected period), plotting your net take.

    In compare mode, each bucket has two bars — one for the primary period, one for the compare period.

  • Revenue by Service

    A pie chart breaking your revenue down by what kind of work earned it.

    The grouping depends on your discipline:

    • Tattoo artists — slices are the four booking intents the client picked when they booked: New Tattoo, Touch-Up, Cover-Up, and Consultation. So you can see at a glance whether your revenue came from fresh work or from finishing pieces. Some legacy bookings made before intents were introduced will show up under their old service name (or "Other") and that's fine — new bookings going forward all use the four intents.
    • Body modification practitioners — slices are the procedure categories from your Services & Pricing Info Card (cutting, branding, implant, surface, stretching, etc.).
    • Piercers — slices come from your service menu (each piercing service is its own slice).
    • Laser removal practitioners — slices come from your service menu (consultation, tattoo removal, test patch, etc.).
    • Permanent makeup practitioners — slices come from your service menu (eyebrows, lips, face, etc.).

    A booking only adds to a slice once the session is completed and has a price recorded.

  • Kept Deposits

    A list at the bottom of the tab. When a booking is cancelled and you kept the deposit, that money lands here instead of in the regular revenue figures (it's not session revenue, but it's still real money you received).

    Each line shows the date of the cancellation, how many deposits you kept that day, and the total amount.

Frequently asked questions

I'm a resident at a studio. My Net is much lower than my Gross. Is that normal?

Yes. The gap is the commission your studio takes on each session. The split is whatever you agreed with the studio when you joined.

A client paid me cash for the deposit and the rest of the session. Does Stats know about it?

Only if the session has the right price recorded when you tap Mark Complete. Manual bookings and cash sessions both flow through the same complete-with-price step — the number you enter there is what Stats counts.

Why doesn't a booking I cancelled today show up in Kept Deposits?

Check the period selector. Kept deposits land in the date the booking was cancelled, not in the original session date. If your period excludes today, today's cancellations won't be in the list.

Revenue by Service is empty for me. Why?

The chart needs at least one completed booking with a recorded price in the selected period. New accounts, or accounts with no completed bookings yet in the period, show nothing here. Tattoo artists also need at least one booking with a recorded intent (New Tattoo / Touch-Up / Cover-Up / Consultation); very old bookings made before intents existed will fall back to their original service name or "Other" so they don't disappear.
