cash budget

Money flow plan

A cash budget is a financial plan that projects expected cash inflows and outflows over a specific period, typically monthly or quarterly.

Businesses use it to anticipate shortfalls and ensure they can meet obligations: The cash budget showed we'd need a line of credit in March.

Unlike profit forecasts, cash budgets track actual money movement—when payments arrive and when bills come due.
