Cash flow forecast

Projected balance line based on planned transactions and recurring revenue.

The Cash flow forecast (sidebar → Cash flow forecast) extends your balance line into the future. It combines:

  • Current balance across all accounts.
  • Planned transactions — your one-off and recurring forecasts from planned transactions.
  • Recurring revenue — expected MRR continuation based on current active subscriptions.

How the forecast is computed

For each future day:

  1. Start from yesterday's actual balance.
  2. Add expected recurring revenue inflows for that day (subscriptions that renew on that date).
  3. Apply every planned transaction occurrence dated that day.
  4. The result is the projected balance.

Past dates always use actual transactions — the forecast line and the actual line meet at today.

Improving forecast accuracy

  • Make sure your planned transactions cover predictable expenses (salaries, software, rent).
  • Keep vendor defaults up to date so new transactions categorize themselves and historical baselines stay clean.
  • Reconcile bank imports regularly so the starting balance is accurate.
