Cash flow in plain words

Cash flow is the money that actually comes into your bank account and goes out of it over a period. It is not the same as profit.

A business can be profitable on paper and still run short of cash. You invoice 120 000 MAD in March, but your client pays in May. Meanwhile rent, salaries, supplier bills and TVA are due in April. The sale is real, the cash is not there yet.

The three figures that matter

  • Cash today: what is in your accounts and the till right now.
  • Money in: client payments you expect to receive, by month.
  • Money out: what you will pay, by month: rent, salaries, suppliers, loans, taxes.

Each month, cash today plus money in minus money out gives the balance you start the next month with.

What to do with the result

  • A balance that dips in one month tells you to chase a payment early, move a purchase, or talk to your bank before you need to.
  • A balance that keeps growing tells you when you can afford to hire or invest.

What this calculator leaves out

It assumes the same payments every month and steady growth in receipts. It does not include when TVA is paid, loan repayments, one-off purchases or clients who pay late. Use it for a first idea, not for a decision you cannot reverse.

A forecast built from your real invoices

In Alladdin the projection is not typed in. It comes from your open invoices and their due dates, your supplier bills, recurring documents and TVA, and it updates every time you record something.

Questions about cash flow

What is the difference between cash flow and profit?

Profit compares what you earned and what it cost over a period, whenever the money moves. Cash flow follows when the money actually reaches or leaves your account. Late payments make the two differ.

What should I enter as monthly receipts?

What clients actually pay you in a typical month, not what you invoice. If clients pay at 60 days, today's invoices arrive two months later.

Should monthly payments include TVA?

This calculator does not handle TVA separately. For a rough idea, add your average monthly TVA payment to your monthly payments.

Is my data saved?
