the dashboard ytd row sums total runs, gross wages, employer tax, and total cash out across the calendar year. useful for tax prep and gut checks.

3 steps~2 min
  1. 1

    open the pecan dashboard

    the ytd stat row sits at the top — total runs, ytd gross, ytd employer tax, ytd net.

  2. 2

    compare against revenue

    open sycamore in another tab. labor as a percentage of revenue is the gut-check number — service businesses typically run 30 to 50%.

  3. 3

    use it for tax-time prep

    your cpa needs the year-end ytd numbers for federal, state, and local. export pecan's ytd table as csv and hand it over.

    tip

    if your numbers spike outside the typical range without a known reason (new hire, raise), open the run list and look for an outlier — usually one bad data entry.
