Understanding the Revenue Snapshot
How to read the month summary on your dashboard. Learn exactly how Landager calculates Total Due versus Collected in real-time.
The most critical component of your Main Dashboard is the month summary card.
It answers the singular most important question of the month: Have all my tenants paid me?
How to Read the Snapshot
The card presents a visual comparison, usually accompanied by a progress bar, comparing two distinct financial pillars.
1. Total Due (The Goal)
This number is generated dynamically from the rent charges created for your active leases.
- It includes the base rent, plus any completed maintenance marked as "charge to tenant", and any late fees applied.
- This number changes if new charges are generated, maintenance charges are added, or late fees are triggered.
2. Collected (The Reality)
This number represents hard cash. It is calculated dynamically from the Payments page.
- It sums all amounts paid towards charges during the current calendar month (including partial payments).
- It does not include charges that are still Pending, Late, or Waived.
The Monthly Reset
[!IMPORTANT] The month summary resets to zero collected on the 1st of every month automatically.
Because property management operates on a monthly cadence, this card gives you a fresh view every 30 days.
- On the 1st of the month, your Collected amount will drop to $0.
- Over the next few days, as you log manual rent drops, the Collected bar will fill up.
- By the 5th (or whenever your late fee grace period ends), the Collected number should perfectly match the Total Due number.
Troubleshooting Mismatches
If it is mid-month and your Collected amount is lower than your Total Due, one of two things has happened:
- A tenant hasn't paid. Navigate to your Payments page, check the past-due alert or filter by status (such as Late or Partial), and follow up with them.
- You forgot to log a payment. A tenant handed you a check, you deposited it, but you forgot to enter the transaction into Landager. Simply click "Mark Paid" on the pending charge, and the dashboard will instantly correct itself.
If your Collected amount is incorrect, you might have accidentally logged a payment by mistake. You can expand the charge's row in the payment history and void the mistaken payment.
