# Balance

The `balance` field on an account is a snapshot of **settled cash** — deposits that have settled, minus amounts used to purchase fund units. It does not include pending orders or unsettled positions.

```json
{
  "$ref": "#/components/schemas/balance",
  "components": {
    "schemas": {
      "balance": {
        "type": "number",
        "description": "Snapshot of cash amount on account",
        "example": 100
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Deposited & withdrawn totals

The `amounts` object tracks the total cash that has flowed in and out over the account's lifetime. These are running totals that only increase.

```json
{
  "$ref": "#/components/schemas/amounts",
  "components": {
    "schemas": {
      "amounts": {
        "type": "object",
        "description": "Amounts on account",
        "properties": {
          "deposited": {
            "type": "number",
            "description": "Amount deposited to account",
            "example": 123.45
          },
          "withdrawn": {
            "type": "number",
            "description": "Amount withdrawn from account",
            "example": 123.45
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```
