Add/Edit revenue

What we are after here is the amount of money coming in into the corporation after expenses, that is available to pay salaries and dividends, service business loans and to invest in the corporate accounts.

The salaries and dividends paid (to you, your spouse and your dependents) should be entered in INCOMES.

Essentially remove from your company revenues, all that you are not telling us about (salaries and dividends to other employees, capital expenditures, business expenses .., along with their tax implication).

You can enter separate REVENUE items, and like many other entries on this site, they need a start date, an end date, and an amount. This way you can plan for different amounts of revenue in future years. For revenues that start in the future, you can enter the amount in today's dollars or in future dollars. If entered in today's dollars, the TIME MACHINE will grow the amount with inflation (set in RATES/YIELDS/CURRENCIES until the start date) up to the start date automatically. If entered in future dollars, the amount entered will be used. The amount should be annualized. This means that if the revenue is only received for a part of the year, enter it as if it were for a full year ($1000/month for 3 months, is $12,000, thus enter $12,000 with the start and end date 3 months apart) and the TIME MACHINE will know that from the start and end date it is only for 3 months (for example) and will record the $3,000 for the year. For a lump sum, enter the same start and end date.

You can set how the REVENUE grows in time between the start and end dates. We ask if the REVENUE is indexed, a multiplier (default is 1), and an addend rate (default is 0% and can be negative). If you check "Index to inflation", the REVENUE will grow with inflation multiplied by the multiplier, plus the specified addend rate. Essentially: growth rate = inflation × multiplier + addend. If not set to be indexed with inflation, you can still set an alternate rate to grow it. In that case: growth rate = addend. This could be useful if you think your business will take off and grow above inflation after the start date set or alternatively wind down and grow below inflation after that start date.
