An EBITDA goal may be below zero, for a month you plan to invest. Clear empties the tab, Discard drops your edits and Save goals keeps them. Only an owner or admin can change goals.

Goals are rounded to a step that fits your store. The step is at most 2% of a typical month. It is never more than €10.000 for net revenue, or €1.000 for EBITDA and the budget. A forecast within half a step of its goal reads On goal, so rounding alone never looks like a gap.

Red means even that falls short. A budget shows money left or over, and turns amber up to 3% over and red beyond.
