Income represents the average BTSX earned per day, expenses are average BTS X paid to delegates, and burn rate is daily BTSX burned by delegates working for less than 100% pay. The overview page will probably change a lot in future revisions.
So... is my BTSX balance increasing daily? What is my personal rate, if that is the average? I understand expenses, but wouldn't it be better to show the daily pay for ALL the delegates rather than some average per when many are used?
the burn also feels like it would make more sense as a total daily amount rather than some average per delegate percentage.

No, your balance does not change. If we had "bips" (explicit dividends), then your daily rate would be the "burn rate" times your percent of the stake. We don't have that though, you just get increased % stake in the form of decreasing supply.

It's not an average, it is total for the day.

why not list it as a deflation rate? I find the stats very confusing, and your explanation contradicts bytemasters who says income and expenses are averages.

Deflation rate is good. Mixing metaphors a little bit but I think it's clear enough.

I'm pretty sure the display shows network total, maybe BM did not know (he doesn't work with the GUI much) or worded what he meant wrong ("average" like using one round to compute the day's "expected" rate? IDK)

Another suggestion: how about adding a % symbol before the APR.
Im looking at the current screenshots - havent compiled the gui yet.
