Retained earnings are a little different. Remember the formula for the balance sheet? (Assets = Liabilities + Equity?) If you’ve filled out the rest of your balance sheet template, then you will have only retained earnings left to work with. Therefore, retained earnings are equal to Assets – Liabilities – Contributed Capital.
Your balance sheet helps you understand the relationship between your income and your expenses, so you can maintain profitability. This document will help you become a profit expert in your business because it will allow you to work with your business’ financial numbers to build a workable balance. This incredibly powerful tool not only tells you where you’ve been, but it will help you forecast into the future.
