how it works

Cash Flow & Savings Rate

How monthly income, expenses, cash flow, and savings rate are calculated on the dashboard.

Monthly income

Monthly income is the sum of all income transactions in the current month, plus the monthly value of recurring income items. All amounts are converted to your base currency.

Monthly expenses

Monthly expenses follow the same pattern: one-time expense transactions this month, plus the monthly value of recurring expenses.

Net cash flow

Net Cash Flow = Monthly Income - Monthly Expenses

A positive cash flow means you're earning more than you're spending. A negative cash flow means you're spending more than you earn.

Savings rate

Savings Rate = (Net Cash Flow / Monthly Income) × 100%

The savings rate shows what percentage of your income you're keeping. A higher rate means faster progress towards your goals.

🧮 Edge case

If monthly income is zero, the savings rate displays as 0% to avoid division by zero.
