Understanding the Revenue Snapshot
How to read the Revenue Snapshot card on your dashboard. Learn exactly how Landager calculates Expected Rent versus Collected Rent in real-time.
The most critical component of your Main Dashboard is the Revenue Snapshot 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. Expected Rent (The Goal)
This number is generated dynamically by your Active Leases.
- If you have 5 active leases, and each lease dictates a rent of $1,000, your Expected Rent for the current month is $5,000.
- This number only changes if you create a new lease, terminate an existing lease, or modify a lease's rent amount.
2. Collected Rent (The Reality)
This number represents hard cash. It is calculated dynamically from the Payments ledger.
- It sums all payments marked as "Completed" that were logged during the current calendar month.
- It completely ignores payments marked as "Failed" or "Pending".
The Monthly Reset
[!IMPORTANT] The Revenue Snapshot resets to zero collected rent 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 Rent 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 Expected number.
Troubleshooting Mismatches
If it is mid-month and your Collected Rent is lower than your Expected Rent, one of two things has happened:
- A tenant hasn't paid. Navigate to your Leases list, filter by Active, click into the likely culprits, check their Payments tab, 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 add the payment, and the dashboard will instantly correct itself.
If your Collected Rent is higher than your Expected Rent, it usually means a tenant pre-paid for next month, or you accidentally logged a duplicate payment.
