Quality checkpoint

The calculator, builder or download above works independently. AI Assist is an optional explanation and writing helper, never required to complete the core task.
Spot cash gaps six months before they arrive
Profit and cash are different. A business can make sales on paper and still run out of money while waiting for customers to pay. A simple rolling forecast puts expected receipts, fixed payments and variable expenses in the same timeline so you can see pressure points early.
Before you start
Cash flow tracks when money moves, not when sales are promised. A profitable invoice that is paid sixty days later cannot cover rent due tomorrow. Model actual receipt dates, recurring commitments and potential payment delays.
How to use this tool
- Enter your current available cash and realistic monthly expected receipts.
- Add fixed and variable monthly payments, and choose a conservative or growth scenario.
- Review projected closing cash across six months, then download the CSV to refine assumptions.
A real-world example
If you open with R10,000, receive R20,000 and pay R25,000 during the month, you finish with an estimated R5,000 cash balance.
Treat forecast income as cash actually expected to arrive, not revenue merely invoiced. Update your numbers regularly.
Check this before you finish
- Start with an accurate opening bank balance.
- Separate booked sales from expected receipt dates.
- Keep a buffer for tax and unexpected expenses.
What to avoid
Do not mistake a high projected closing balance for guaranteed cash. Input assumptions matter.

Frequently asked questions
Is a cash-flow forecast a profit forecast?
No. Cash flow focuses on money entering and leaving your account at specific times.
Can this replace accounting software?
No. It is a lightweight scenario planner for decisions, not a general ledger or tax record.
