Income & expenses
Read the Earnings totals, rent chart, and expense donut, record a cost against a property, and see how gross and net yield are worked out.
Open the Earnings tab from the bottom navigation bar. Every figure on it is built from your recorded rent payments and expenses, nothing is estimated or projected.
Totals
A segmented control at the top switches the headline total between Month, Quarter, and Financial year (the Australian financial year, 1 July to 30 June). Whichever you pick, the big number is the rent you collected in that period.
Next to it, when your rent schedule has anything due in the period, you'll see of $X expected alongside it, so you can compare what actually came in against what was scheduled.
Spent and net live in the chart, not the header
The totals header never shows what you spent or your net position directly. Tap a bar on the chart below to see that month's collected, spent, and net together.
Filtering by property
If you have more than one property, an All chip and a property dropdown appear under the totals. Selecting a property narrows the totals header, the chart, and the yield figures to that property alone.
The Properties list further down always shows every property, whatever the filter, it works like the chart's legend rather than a filtered view.
Outstanding rent
If any property has overdue or late rent, a strip appears showing the total outstanding and how many properties it affects. Tap it to jump straight to the worst-affected property.
The chart
The chart always plots the current financial year, regardless of the Month/Quarter/Financial year control. Bars outside your selected period dim slightly so the current scope stands out. With more than one property (and no filter applied), each bar stacks by property in a shade ramp, and the property rows below carry a matching dot so you can tell the shades apart.
Tap a bar to see that month's collected, spent, and net in a floating callout. If the month has any recorded spend, a View [month] records button appears below the chart. This opens the full list of that month's cost records: manual expenses (swipe left to delete) and maintenance invoices (read-only, they're managed from the request itself).
Expense breakdown
Once the selected period has recorded spend, a donut chart appears below the chart showing your expenses by category, largest first (the smallest categories fold into an Other slice, capped at six sectors total). Tap a slice for its name, amount, and share of the total. A legend underneath lists every category with the same detail.
Property rows and yield
Every property gets a row showing what it's received against what's expected for the selected period (Month/Quarter/FY), plus a small dot if it has anything overdue.
If you've set a purchase price for the property (property hub > Property details > Purchase price, visible only to you), the row also shows gross yield: the next 12 months of scheduled rent divided by the purchase price. Once you've recorded any expenses, net yield appears alongside it, the same figure less your trailing 12 months of recorded costs, still expressed as a percentage of the purchase price.
Yield is based on your scheduled rent, not just what's been collected so far, so a new listing or a young account doesn't show an artificially low figure. A vacant property with no upcoming rent shows no yield at all.
Recording an expense
Tap + in the top right of the Earnings tab to record a cost: amount, date (today or earlier), a category, and an optional note. Categories are Council Rates, Insurance, Body Corporate, Water, Tax, Repairs, Gardening, Advertising, and Other.
If you have more than one property and no property filter active, you'll be asked which property the expense belongs to first.
There's no standalone expenses list. To review or delete a manual expense, tap View records under the month it falls in on the chart.
Maintenance invoices
When you resolve a maintenance request with an invoice amount attached, it's added automatically as an expense, no separate entry needed. Invoices always appear under the Repairs category on the expense breakdown and tax summary, even if the original request was logged under a different category (Plumbing, Electrical, and so on). They're read-only in Earnings; edit or remove them from the maintenance request itself.
See Logging a maintenance request and Maintenance history.
