The short answer to your question is yes, ledger can do that.

The long answer as to *how* exactly you get it to do that depends
somewhat on your needs.  It's straightforward to do things like show how
much salary you earned.  It's also pretty straightforward to find out
how much you lost or gained due to currency exchanges or stock gains,
though these depend on you representing your data in the right way.  I'd
suggest that you install ledger and then read the first few sections of
the manual:

https://www.ledger-cli.org/docs.html

Section 4.5 ("Currency and commodities") and Section 5 ("Transactions")
will be especially relevant for you.  I suggest you play around with
representing your data after reading these sections, then ask again here
if you need help building reports with exactly the output you want.
