A profit and loss template structured to US GAAP presentation standards. Includes revenue recognition aligned with ASC 606, cost of revenue, gross profit, operating expenses broken out by function (R&D, S&M, G&A), operating income, other income/expense, income tax provision, and earnings per share calculation. Designed for US companies that need a clean, auditable income statement for both internal planning and SEC reporting.

What's included
Template preview
Step by step
Populate revenue lines by product or service type. The template supports ASC 606 disaggregation by revenue type (subscriptions, professional services, licenses) and recognition timing (over time vs. point in time).
Enter direct costs including hosting, customer support, implementation costs, and any amortization of capitalized software. The gross margin formula updates automatically.
Enter R&D, Sales & Marketing, and G&A expenses. Each function includes sub-lines for salaries, stock-based compensation (ASC 718), depreciation, and other costs.
Enter the income tax provision using your estimated effective rate. The template calculates both basic and diluted EPS using your share count inputs.
Check auto-calculated gross margin, operating margin, and net margin percentages. Enter prior year figures for year-over-year variance analysis.
Watch out
Omitting stock-based compensation from operating expenses, understating true cost structure
Using the 21% statutory federal rate instead of the blended effective rate including state taxes
Not separating restructuring charges and other one-time items from recurring operating expenses
Budgeting bookings instead of ASC 606 recognized revenue
