The statement every small business needs
Small businesses are 99.9% of all businesses in the United States — 33,185,550 firms — and they employ 61.7 million Americans (46.4% of private-sector employees), according to the U.S. Small Business Administration's Frequently Asked Questions About Small Business (2023). Every one of those firms eventually needs a profit and loss statement: for a loan, a tax return, a partner discussion or simply to know whether the business is working. This tool produces that document without handing your figures to a server — the same privacy standard as our accounting privacy guide.
Reading your own numbers
📊 Gross margin first
Gross profit divided by revenue is your gross margin. If it falls while sales rise, your direct costs — stock, materials, payment fees — are eating the growth. Fix that before cutting marketing or tools.
🧾 Separate direct costs from running costs
Cost of goods sold scales with sales; rent, software and insurance mostly do not. Mixing them hides which lever to pull, so this tool keeps the sections apart — and pairs naturally with our invoice generator for the revenue side.
📅 One period, one currency, every time
A statement mixing months with quarters, or EUR with USD, produces totals nobody can trust. Prepare one statement per period, in the currency you actually bank in.
💾 Keep the PDF with your records
Download each statement and file it with your invoices and receipts. Because nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored for you — your records are yours alone, which is the point.
Straight talk: limits
⚖️ Not accounting or tax advice
The tool adds up the figures you enter; it does not verify them, classify them under your country's rules, or prepare a tax return. For filings and loan applications, reconcile with your bookkeeping and an accountant.
📝 A statement, not a ledger
This is the summary document, not the underlying records. Keep the invoices, receipts and bank statements behind it — a P&L without source documents will not survive an audit or a lender's questions.
🔤 Plain text only
The PDF uses a standard font for maximum compatibility, so exotic scripts in business names are simplified. Keep names in standard Latin characters for the cleanest output.
Profit and Loss FAQ
Is this profit and loss maker really free?
Yes — unlimited statements, every field and PDF download, forever. No trial, no watermark, no account and no payment details. It runs entirely in your browser.
What is the difference between gross profit and net profit?
Gross profit is revenue minus the direct cost of goods sold — what your sales earn before running costs. Net profit (or loss) subtracts operating expenses and adds other income: it is the bottom line that shows whether the period actually made money.
Can I use this P&L for a loan application or tax filing?
It produces a clean, readable statement you can attach to applications, but banks and tax authorities usually want figures reconciled with your bookkeeping and, in many countries, an accountant's review. This tool is not accounting or tax advice.
Which period should I cover?
Most small businesses prepare P&L statements monthly or quarterly, plus one annual statement. Pick one period per statement — mixing months and quarters in one document makes the totals meaningless.
Can I change the currency?
Yes — EUR, USD, GBP and CHF are supported, and every total updates live in the chosen currency. Keep one statement in one currency; never mix currencies in the same period.
Where is my financial data stored?
Only in this browser tab while you type. The PDF is assembled on your own device with a JavaScript PDF library — your revenue, costs and profit figures are never uploaded to any server.
What if my business made a loss?
The statement shows it honestly as a net loss, in the same layout. A loss period is normal for new businesses; what lenders and accountants look for is whether the trend and the cost structure are understood — which is exactly what this breakdown shows.
