Before a show, a budget tells you what you plan to spend. After it, the Summary page tells you what the night really made. Both live in the Finance section of your event.
How do I set a budget?
Open your event and go to Finance › Budget. Select Add category and choose from the list, which matches the categories you use for expenses, like Catering & F&B, Equipment rental, Insurance, Security, and Miscellaneous. Then type the amount you plan to spend in the Budgeted column.
What do the Actual and Progress columns show?
Actual is what you've logged in Expenses for that category. Progress shows how close you are to your budget. You'll see a note like Near limit as you approach it and a percentage like 3% over if you've passed it. The Total row adds it all up.

What's on the Summary page?
Go to Finance › Summary. You'll see your gross revenue, net revenue, gross profit, and net profit at the top. Below that, the page walks through your ticket sales, your income, and your expenses by category. Select Download to save the numbers.
What is NBOR?
NBOR stands for net box office receipts: your gross ticket sales minus discounts and ticket refunds. Fees aren't part of it, including platform and processing fees, so it's the face-value number many artist deals settle on. The Summary page works it out for you, so you have it ready at settlement.
How do I lock the numbers after the show?
Once ticket sales have ended, you can lock settlement to take a snapshot of the show's profit and loss. See How do I unpublish, close, or cancel an event?
