Profit and Loss Statement Template
About the profit and loss statement template
A profit and loss statement, also called an income statement or P&L, shows how much revenue your business earned and how much you spent over a set period, usually a month, quarter, or fiscal year. Small business owners, sole proprietors, and freelancers use it for tax filing (Schedule C), loan and SBA applications, investor updates, and month-to-month performance tracking.
Our template lays out the standard sections (revenue, cost of goods sold, gross profit, operating expenses, net income) and you can add or rename line items, change the currency, and insert your logo directly in the PDF Guru editor.
