How Our Cash Flow Forecast Calculator Estimates Your Cash Position
Enter your starting cash balance, then add your expected monthly cash inflows, such as sales or other receipts, and outflows, including operating expenses and other payments. The calculator uses these figures to project your cash position across the selected period.
You can see your monthly net cash flow, closing balance and projected cash position, helping you identify months where your available funds may increase or fall. By adjusting your figures, you can also test different scenarios and see how changes in income or expenses may affect your forecast. The results provide an estimate based on the information entered and can be updated as your business plans change.

AAD Taxation got me a refund I never knew I was entitled to. Professional, quick, and explained everything in plain English. They found deductions my previous accountant completely missed. Absolutely outstanding!
Priya S.
As a small business owner, BAS and payroll was a nightmare. AAD took everything off my plate and the fixed pricing means no surprises. Their team responds within hours — incredible service, highly recommended.
Raj M.
I had 3 overdue tax returns and was terrified of the ATO. AAD sorted everything, negotiated my penalties down, and set up a payment plan. Now I’m fully up to date. They literally saved me thousands!

FAQs
Got Questions? We've Got Answers
Here are answers to common questions about cash flow forecasting and managing your business’s future cash position.
What is a cash flow forecast?
A cash flow forecast is an estimate of the money expected to enter and leave your business over a future period. It helps you project your available cash and prepare for upcoming financial commitments.
Why is cash flow forecasting important?
A forecast can help you identify periods when your available cash may be lower, plan for major expenses and make more informed decisions about spending, staffing and business growth.
What is an opening balance?
The opening balance is the amount of cash or bank balance you have at the beginning of the forecast period. The calculator uses this as the starting point for projecting your future balances.
What are cash inflows?
Cash inflows are amounts expected to come into your business. These may include customer payments, sales receipts, loans, investments or other business income received during the forecast period.
What is the lowest month balance?
The lowest month balance shows the smallest projected cash balance during the forecast period. This can help you identify months where you may need to manage spending or arrange additional funding.
Does a positive cash flow mean my business is profitable?
Not necessarily. Cash flow and profit measure different things. A business can have positive cash flow while still reporting a loss, or make a profit while experiencing a temporary cash shortage.
How accurate is a cash flow forecast?
The forecast depends on the information and assumptions you enter. Actual results can differ due to changes in sales, customer payment timing, unexpected expenses and other factors. Regularly updating your forecast can make it more useful.
How often should I update my cash flow forecast?
There is no single frequency that suits every business. Many businesses review their forecasts regularly and update them when sales, expenses or financial circumstances change.
