Net Cash Flow Card
What the Net Cash Flow card means and why it can differ sharply from the Total Revenue card.
Net Cash Flow tells you what cash movement is left after payments, refunds, and expenses are taken into account. That is why it often tells a different story from Total Revenue.
How It Is Calculated
- Payments: Completed payment entries are the starting point.
- Refunds: Refunds are subtracted back out.
- Expenses: Completed expense entries are also subtracted.
- Date-sensitive: The calculation runs across the current Dashboard date range.
How to Read It
- Higher than expected: Usually means payments are landing strongly against costs in that period.
- Lower than revenue: This is common and not automatically a problem. Revenue is charge activity, while cash flow is actual money movement minus outgoings.
- Negative result: A negative figure means more money has gone out than come in for the chosen period.
