incomestatement, is\

This command displays an
[income statement](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_statement), 
showing revenues and expenses during one or more periods. 
Amounts are shown with normal positive sign, as in conventional
financial statements.

_FLAGS

The revenue and expense accounts shown are those accounts declared
with the `Revenue` or `Expense` type, or otherwise all accounts under
a top-level `revenue` or `income` or `expense` account (case
insensitive, plurals allowed).

Example:
```shell
$ hledger incomestatement
Income Statement

Revenues:
                 $-2  income
                 $-1    gifts
                 $-1    salary
--------------------
                 $-2

Expenses:
                  $2  expenses
                  $1    food
                  $1    supplies
--------------------
                  $2

Total:
--------------------
                   0
```

With a [reporting interval](#reporting-interval), multiple columns
will be shown, one for each report period.
Normally incomestatement shows revenues/expenses per period, though
as with [multicolumn balance reports](#multicolumn-balance-reports)
you can alter the report mode with `--change`/`--cumulative`/`--historical`.
Instead of absolute values [percentages](#percentages) can be displayed
with `-%`.

This command also supports the
[output destination](hledger.html#output-destination) and
[output format](hledger.html#output-format) options
The output formats supported are
`txt`, `csv`, `html`, and (experimental) `json`.
