Money & cash flow

Cash Flow — your next 8 weeks

The Cash Flow tab projects each cash account's balance 8 weeks out from today plus scheduled income and bills. It's the scheduled-flow view, so every bill and income needs an account.

The Cash Flowtab projects each cash account's balance 8 weeks forward from today, walking the balance day by day through your scheduled income and bills.

One line per cash account. The starting point is the account's balance right now; from there the chart adds each income occurrence and subtracts each bill on the day it's scheduled to land, so the line steps up on paydays and down on due dates. A dashed zero line marks the overdraft edge, and the card flags two risks: an account projected to dip below $0 (overdraft), and one that gets thin (under $500) without going negative.

This is the scheduled-flow view. Planned-spend caps and realized Other Spend are notsubtracted here. Today's balance already reflects the spending you've done, and your variable spending isn't on a schedule — so the forecast only moves on dated income and bills. For how caps and Other Spend work, see the Spending Plan.

Because the line attributes every flow to a real balance, each bill and income source now needs an account— the forecast has no honest way to draw a paycheque or a bill it can't tie to a balance. Anything still unassigned is surfaced, not silently dropped: the card shows "N aren't assigned — not in this forecast" with the monthly in/out it's missing, and a one-dialog bulk-assign fixes them all at once.

Where it's paid fromIn the cash line?
A chequing or savings accountYes — moves that account's forecast balance
A card or line of creditNo — tracked, but not in the cash line

The assign dialog groups your accounts the same way: shows in your forecast (cash) versus tracked, not in the cash line(cards / LOC). A card-paid bill is a real obligation, but it won't move a cash balance until the card itself is paid — so it sits outside this 8-week view by design, not by mistake.
