Month 1 uses the entered amounts. Growth or decline compounds monthly from Month 2. Cost of goods sold is a fixed share of revenue; total expenses also include operating expenses. USD amounts assume revenue is received and expenses are paid in the same month. Taxes, financing, capital spending and changes in working capital are excluded.

Cash Flow Matters More Than Revenue Alone

Cash flow tracks when money actually enters and leaves the business. A profitable company can still face stress if customers pay late, inventory builds up, or expenses come due before receipts arrive.

A cash flow forecast helps you spot tight periods early so you can cut spending, speed collections, or line up financing before the pressure hits.

How to use this calculator

  1. List expected cash receipts for the period, including realistic collection timing.
  2. List payroll, rent, suppliers, debt payments, taxes, and other cash expenses.
  3. Subtract outflows from inflows to estimate net cash flow.
  4. Review month-end cash balance to see whether you need reserves or financing.
