If your ledger file uses the standard top-level accounts: Assets, Liabilities, Income, Expenses, Equity: then the following queries will enable you to generate some typical accounting reports from your data.

Your @emph{net worth} can be determined by balancing assets against liabilities:

@example ledger bal ^assets ^liab @end example

By removing long-term investment and loan accounts, you can see your current net liquidity (or liquid net worth):

@example ledger bal ^assets ^liab -retirement -brokerage -loan @end example

Balancing expenses against income yields your @emph{cash flow}, or net profit/loss:

@example ledger bal ^exp ^inc @end example

In this case, if the number is positive it means you spent more than you earned during the report period.

@c ----------------------------------------------------------------------

The most often used command is the ``balance'' command:

@example export LEDGER=/home/johnw/doc/ledger.dat ledger balance @end example

Here I've set my Ledger environment variable to point to where my ledger file is hiding. Thereafter, I needn't specify it again.
