Dashboard

The Dashboard answers one question: how is the rental doing right now? When you open the app, you see:

• Year-to-date revenue and expenses — Where you stand financially this year
• Upcoming bookings — What's coming next that you need to act on
• Payments due — Money you're owed and when to expect it
• Tax payment reminders — If occupancy tax is configured, upcoming deadlines appear here

Overdue payments show in red. Tax deadlines approaching get flagged. The goal is a quick check-in that shows whether something needs attention today. Tax deadlines and payment reminders reflect the settings for your currently selected property.

The three boxes at the top of the Dashboard — Booked Revenue, YTD Expenses, and Net Income — are year-to-date summaries that update as you add bookings and expenses. They provide a rolling view of your financial performance for the selected year.

These numbers depend on which financial view you have selected. In Financials > Analytics > Overview, there is a toggle between Operating P&L and Cash Flow. That choice controls what the Dashboard shows for YTD Expenses and Net Income. (Booked Revenue is the same in both views.)

This is your rental income before expenses — what guests pay you for the stay itself. This number is the same regardless of which financial view you have selected. Includes:

• Rent from all non-cancelled bookings
• All enabled fees (cleaning, pet, linen, EV charger, and any custom fees you've configured)
• Retained amounts from cancelled bookings

Does not include:

• Occupancy tax — that's money you collect on behalf of the state, tracked separately in Financials > STR Tax Payments
• Security deposits — those are held in escrow and returned to guests, not income
• Bookings excluded from tax reporting (e.g., Owner Occupied stays)

What this number includes depends on which financial view is active:

In Operating P&L view (default):

• Includes operating expenses like cleaning, insurance, repairs, utilities, mortgage interest, and similar day-to-day costs of running the property
• Excludes mortgage principal — that's not an expense, it's building equity in your property
• Excludes capital improvements — a new roof or renovation is an asset purchase that gets depreciated over time, not a running cost
• Excludes auto/travel/mileage — this is a personal tax deduction for trips to the property, not a property operating cost

In Cash Flow view:

• Includes all expenses with no exclusions — every dollar out the door, including capital improvements, mileage, and mortgage payments (both principal and interest)
• The only exception is mortgage principal, which is excluded because it's equity building, not spending

STR occupancy tax payments are not included in either view — those are pass-through collections you remit to the state, not business expenses. They are tracked in Financials > STR Tax Payments.

Calculated as: Booked Revenue minus YTD Expenses.

• In Operating P&L view, this represents how the rental business is performing independent of financing and capital decisions
• In Cash Flow view, this represents your actual cash position — money in minus money out
• This is a rolling snapshot — it reflects what has been booked and spent so far
• It is not a forecast or projection — it only includes actual bookings and recorded expenses
• The number is not final until year end, when all bookings are complete and all expenses are logged

Outstanding Balances shows the total of all scheduled (not yet received) payments across loaded bookings, which may span into the following year. The subtitle shows "through [Month Year]" indicating the latest scheduled payment date, so you know how far ahead the balance extends.

These numbers update automatically as you add bookings and log expenses. To switch between Operating P&L and Cash Flow views, go to Financials > Analytics > Overview and use the toggle. For detailed breakdowns, tax-organized views, and multi-year comparisons, go to Financials. If you manage multiple properties, see the Managing Multiple Properties section for how the Dashboard works with property selection.
