The dashboard: what every number means

The headline numbers

• Money in — income received in the period: paid invoices, CIS gross pay from uploaded statements, platform earnings, rent. On the default cash basis, income counts when it’s paid, not when invoiced.
• Money out — business expenses recorded from receipts, typed expenses and bank statement lines. Personal spending and drawings are excluded — they’re not business costs.
• Profit — money in minus money out for the period.
• Tax set-aside — the running estimate of what to put away for tax, from the live tax estimate, with CIS already deducted taken into account.
• Safe to spend — what’s realistically yours after the tax set-aside is protected.

Drill into any figure

1. Open the web app (app.subready.co.uk) or mobile app.
2. Tap or click a figure — every number has a breakdown behind it showing the exact records it’s built from.
3. Spot something wrong? Open that record and correct it — the dashboard updates immediately.

Ask instead of looking

The same numbers are one WhatsApp message away:

1. “What’s safe to spend?”
2. “How much did I earn this month?”
3. “What did I spend on materials in June?”
4. “Money in vs out this week?”

If a number looks wrong

• Check for unconfirmed expense drafts — typed expenses need a YES before they count.
• Check “awaiting match” on the Bank page — see statement matching.
• Make sure paid invoices are marked paid — recording payments.
