Financial Summary Template: HTML + JSON Payload

Learn the Financial Summary gallery template with practical HTML structure and matching JSON payload for HookPDF API rendering.

This guide is based on the Financial Summary template in the Gallery.

It explains a practical flow: template HTML structure, matching JSON payload, and API render request.

Step 1 - Template HTML structure

HTML
<div class="header">
<h1>Financial Summary</h1>
<span>{{period}}</span>
</div>
<div class="summary-cards">
<div class="card income">
<h3>Total Income</h3>
<div class="val" style="color:#27ae60">{{total_income}}</div>
</div>
<div class="card expense">
<h3>Total Expenses</h3>
<div class="val" style="color:#e74c3c">{{total_expenses}}</div>
</div>
<div class="card net">
<h3>Net Profit</h3>
<div class="val" style="color:#2980b9">{{net_profit}}</div>
</div>
</div>
<h3 style="margin-bottom:12px">Income Breakdown</h3>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Source</th>
<th class="r">Amount</th>
<th class="r">% of Total</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>{{#each income_items}}<tr>
<td>{{this.source}}</td>
<td class="r">{{this.amount}}</td>
<td class="r">{{this.percentage}}</td>
</tr>{{/each}}</tbody>
</table>
<h3 style="margin-bottom:12px">Expense Breakdown</h3>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Category</th>
<th class="r">Amount</th>
<th class="r">% of Total</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>{{#each expense_items}}<tr>
<td>{{this.category}}</td>
<td class="r">{{this.amount}}</td>
<td class="r">{{this.percentage}}</td>
</tr>{{/each}}</tbody>
</table>
<div class="footer">{{company_name}} | {{period}}</div>

Step 2 - Matching JSON payload

JSON
{
  "company_name": "Acme Corp",
  "period": "Q1 2026",
  "total_income": "$485,000",
  "total_expenses": "$312,000",
  "net_profit": "$173,000",
  "income_items": [
    {
      "source": "Product Sales",
      "amount": "$320,000",
      "percentage": "66%"
    },
    {
      "source": "Subscriptions",
      "amount": "$125,000",
      "percentage": "26%"
    },
    {
      "source": "Consulting",
      "amount": "$40,000",
      "percentage": "8%"
    }
  ],
  "expense_items": [
    {
      "category": "Payroll",
      "amount": "$180,000",
      "percentage": "58%"
    },
    {
      "category": "Infrastructure",
      "amount": "$52,000",
      "percentage": "17%"
    },
    {
      "category": "Marketing",
      "amount": "$48,000",
      "percentage": "15%"
    },
    {
      "category": "Operations",
      "amount": "$32,000",
      "percentage": "10%"
    }
  ]
}

Step 3 - Final rendered preview in page

Preview uses the original Gallery template HTML and CSS with sample payload values.

Step 4 - Key mapping checklist

  • {{company_name}} -> company_name
  • {{period}} -> period
  • {{total_income}} -> total_income
  • {{total_expenses}} -> total_expenses
  • {{#each income_items}} -> income_items[]
  • {{this.source}} -> income_items[].source
  • {{#each expense_items}} -> expense_items[]
  • {{this.category}} -> expense_items[].category

Step 5 - Render request example

BASH
curl -X POST "https://api.hookpdf.com/v1/render" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <api_key>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "template_id": "<gallery-financial-summary-template_id>",
    "payload": {

      "period": "Q1 2026",
      "total_income": "$485,000",
      "total_expenses": "$312,000",
      "net_profit": "$173,000",
      "income_items": [
        {

          "amount": "$320,000",
          "percentage": "66%"
        },
        {

          "amount": "$125,000",
          "percentage": "26%"
