How this calculator works

Cash Flow

Profit and cash are different. This calculator focuses on money actually expected to enter and leave during the period.

01

Formula

Net cash flow = Inflows − Outflows. Closing cash = Opening cash + Net cash flow.

02

Simple example

Opening with Rs. 500,000, receiving Rs. 850,000, and paying Rs. 720,000 gives Rs. 130,000 net inflow and Rs. 630,000 closing cash.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Payment timing, loans, owner contributions, asset purchases, and unpaid invoices can make cash flow differ from accounting profit.

What period should I use?+

Use one consistent period—such as a week or month—for all three inputs.
