Your activity.
Your days. Your earnings.

Switch the Activity Calendar between month and year views to see your recorded work and travel dates. The yearly summary brings your total days and earnings together.

Days count distinct work and travel dates. Calendar earnings follow those dates using activity charges on issued invoices, converted to your reporting currency. They exclude tax and expenses and include unpaid invoices. Dashboard invoice totals use the issue date.
