Step 1: Identify cash in Cash in can be… Cash sales Interest on savings Debts repaid Cash from a loan … plus other types of easily accessible income

Step 2: Identify cash out Cash out can be… Purchases Utility bills Wages … however, depreciation does not count even though interest counts as a “cash in” source

Step 3: Calculate net cash flow Subtract “cash out” from “cash in” to find net cash flow The equation is simple - the hard part is accurately identifying the sources defining the flow of cash

Step 4: Adjust bank balances Add net cash flow to bank balance for the beginning of the month to predict what’s going to happen by the end of the month

Just be careful… At the end of every month you can compare forecast to reality Just make sure you leave the correct closing bank figure in your records… If you don’t future forecasts will be inaccurate
