Enter expected direct sales and customer accounts receivable collections expected within 30 days.
Record supplier inventory purchases, staff compensation, cloud servers, marketing, taxes, and debt service.

Key Working Capital Principles for Global Enterprises
Cash Flow vs Accounting Profit
A business can be profitable on an accrual income statement while running out of physical cash. Profit records revenue when an invoice is issued, whereas cash flow records actual cleared funds in your bank account.
What is Cash Runway?
Cash runway represents the number of months your enterprise can continue operating before depleting cash reserves if disbursements exceed collections (Runway = Starting Cash / Monthly Net Burn Rate).
Working Capital Conversion Cycle
The time delay between paying suppliers for inventory and collecting payment from commercial debtors (Days Sales Outstanding DSO). Efficient collection cycles prevent liquidity crises during peak sales growth.
Universal Cash Flow Calculation Architecture
The calculator evaluates monthly liquidity using direct cash flow accounting methods tailored for international commerce.
Total Inflows = Cash Sales + Collections + Other Inflows
Total Outflows = Inventory + Payroll + OPEX + Taxes + Debt
Net Cash Flow = Total Cash Inflows - Total Cash Outflows
Ending Cash Balance = Opening Balance + Net Cash Flow
Net Burn Rate (if Negative) = Outflows - Inflows
Monthly net cash deficit depleted during negative cash cycles.
Cash Runway (Months) = Opening Balance ÷ Monthly Burn Rate
Estimated operating months remaining before cash depletion.
