incomestatement, is

This command displays an 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).

(This report is essentially similar to “hledger balance –change revenues expenses”, with revenues sign-flipped.)

Example:

$ 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, multiple columns will be shown, one for each report period. Normally incomestatement shows revenues/expenses per period, though as with multicolumn balance reports you can alter the report mode with --change/--cumulative/--historical. Instead of absolute values percentages can be displayed with -%.

This command also supports the output destination and output format options The output formats supported are txt, csv, html, and (experimental) json.
