# Dashboard

The dashboard is the first screen you see after signing in. It answers "how is the business doing right now?" without you having to open anything else.

## What each figure means

![The dashboard: tiles for revenue, expenses and net this month, above a monthly revenue chart with top customers listed beside it.](https://docs.uninvoice.app/assets/images/dashboard-overview-64c0e1a4d05a5434c0b93ca85b12a18d.png)

- **Revenue this month**: the total of the invoices you **issued** this month. Drafts are not revenue, so they are never counted here.
- **Expenses this month** and **net this month**: what you spent, and what is left once expenses are taken off revenue.
- **Monthly revenue**: a chart of the last months, so you can see the trend rather than a single number.
- **Invoices by status**: how many drafts are still pending and how many have been issued, including corrective invoices.
- **Top customers**: who brings in the most revenue, in your default currency.
- **Customers** and **proformas**: how many you have, and how many are new this month. A customer is someone you have issued an invoice to, so the figure is not the size of your address book: suppliers and other entities on file do not count, and "new this month" means their first invoice falls in it.

Amounts are broken down **by currency**. uninvoice.app never adds up different currencies into one figure (a euro and a dollar are not the same number), so you will see one row per currency you invoice in.

## Empty at first

A brand-new company shows placeholders instead of charts. The dashboard fills in as soon as you issue your first invoice or record your first expense.

## Where the numbers come from

The dashboard and the [reports](https://docs.uninvoice.app/guides/reports) are computed the same way, from the same definitions: an invoice counts on its issue date, only issued invoices are revenue, and expenses count on the expense date. A report covering the same period will therefore always agree with the dashboard.
