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 is the money picture: how much your work actually earned in the period you're viewing. It only counts money from completed sessions — work you haven't finished yet, and bookings still in the future, don't add to the numbers here.

  • Net Revenue vs Gross Revenue

    The two headline figures are your earnings looked at two ways:

    • Net Revenue — what you actually take home, after any cut your studio takes (commission at your home studio, a guest-spot fee, and so on).
    • Gross Revenue — the full price before those cuts.

    If you're independent and never pay commission, the two are identical. If you're a resident or work guest spots on commission, Gross is the bigger number and the gap between them is your studio's share.

  • Monthly Net Revenue

    Your take-home over time, so you can see which stretches earned well and which were lean. The bars plot your net earnings across the period.

  • Revenue by Service

    What kind of work is actually making you money. This chart splits your earnings by the type of job behind them, and how it groups depends on your discipline:

    • Tattoo artists — slices are the 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.
    • 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

    Money you kept from bookings that fell through. When a booking is cancelled and you hold on to the deposit, that's real money you received but it isn't session earnings — so it's listed here on its own rather than mixed into the figures above. Each line shows the date of the cancellation, how many deposits you kept that day, and the total.

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.
