Cash Flow Calculator

Profit is not cash. This calculator compares your monthly income with your monthly expenses to show what actually remains — your monthly surplus, its annual total and your savings rate.

How it works

Net cash flow is monthly income minus monthly expenses. A positive number builds savings; a negative number means debt. The savings rate is the surplus as a percentage of income — a widely used measure of financial health.

Worked example

Example: Income €4,000, expenses €2,800 → surplus €1,200/month, €14,400/year, 30% savings rate.

Recommendations

  • Aim for a savings rate above 15% as a solid baseline.
  • Track cash flow monthly — annual averages hide seasonal spikes.
  • Build an emergency fund equal to 3–6 months of expenses from your surplus.

Tips & advice

  • Automate transfers on payday so the surplus survives temptation.
  • A negative cash flow is a debt spiral — fix expenses before income.
  • Review subscriptions and recurring charges quarterly; they creep upward.

Next steps & suggestions
