Understanding Report Data
Knowing exactly what your reports include helps you make better decisions and communicate accurately with accountants and partners.
Date Ranges
Reports use the transaction date (when the payment or expense occurred), not the date it was recorded in Latch. This ensures reports reflect the actual financial period.
What Is Included
Rent Roll
- All active leases within the selected period.
- Payments allocated to payment periods in the selected range.
- Does not include deposits (these are tracked separately).
Profit & Loss
- Income: Rent payments, tenant recharges, and other income recorded against properties.
- Expenses: All expenses categorised and linked to properties.
- Does not include mortgage capital repayments (only interest is a deductible expense).
How Calculations Work
- Collection Rate — Total payments received divided by total rent due, expressed as a percentage.
- Net Profit — Total income minus total expenses for the period.
- Occupancy Rate — Number of occupied units divided by total units.
- Yield — Annual rent income divided by property value.
Rounding
All monetary amounts are rounded to two decimal places. Percentage figures are rounded to one decimal place.
Discrepancies
If report figures do not match your expectations, check:
- The date range is correct.
- Payments are allocated to the right periods.
- Expenses are linked to the correct properties.
Tip: If you spot unexpected figures, use the drill-down feature to click into any number and see the individual transactions behind it.
