The monthly statement includes all transactions completed within the calendar month. The monthly statement is different from the sum of all payouts within a month since payout dates are not the same as transaction dates.
Payouts include transactions completed during the payout period, which may straddle two months. For example, a payout period may cover January 27 through February 2. If you want to view all transactions instead of payouts by month, navigate to Transactions and filter by a calendar month.
