How This Works

Net cash flow tracks actual cash moving in and out over a period โ€” different from profit, which can include non-cash items like depreciation. Positive cash flow means more cash is coming in than going out.

Formula

Net Cash Flow = Cash Inflows − Cash Outflows

Example

$25,000 in cash received minus $18,000 paid out leaves a $7,000 positive net cash flow for the period.
