Income Statement Analysis
Whether you’re comparing this year to last, your company to a competitor, or two business units side by side, Income Statement Analysis holds valuable clues. This hands-on exercise walks you through key metrics—like contribution margin and operating profit—to help you understand what changed and why. We’ll do the math. You find the insight. If you’re brand new to Income Statements, check out What Is an Income Statement? or the Line-by-Line Reference. If you’re ready to analyze, let’s begin.
At Income|Outcome, we use financial statements to build a big-picture understanding of how business works. These calculators reflect the full structure of the Income Statement and Balance Sheet—and they’re designed for clarity, not clutter. Whether you're modeling your own company or comparing others using our Visual Finance app, you're looking at the same numbers we bring to life in our simulations.

Visual Finance Makes It Simple
Visual Finance presents the same information as the financial statements, but does it graphically - using color, placement and volume to create meaning. The relationships are made easy to understand and to assess at a glance - for example, the Debt-to-Equity ratio is the relationship of red stacks to black stacks in the bottom area of the Balance Sheet.
