The Financial Summary window is one that every successful Tycoonist uses at least once during the course of a scenario. It is most commonly used to manage your loan, however, it summarises your profits and expenditures in monthly increments. You can access this page through the relevent tabs, or by pressing the 'F' key.

It is almost certain that during the course of running your park, you will come to a point where you either run into the red or do not have sufficient funds to complete a task, such as build a ride, path or piece of scenery, etc. When this happens, you may find yourself borrowing money from the bank through the 'loan' option in the financial summary window. Most parks already have a loan, the typical one being $10,000. You may choose to borrow more money, and when you can afford it, pay it back. You can borrow money in $1,000 increments.

Much like in rel life, each month you have a loan, you have to pay an interest on it. You are also limited with how much money you can borrow. After a certain amount, the bank will refuse to lend you anymore money, and so you must rely on your park to bring in any money, and if you're running a loss, your best chances are starting again.
