Excel Skills | Monthly Cash Flow Template | Forecast vs Actual
Instructions
www.excel-skills.com

This template enables users to compile a cash flow forecast for a 36 month period and to compare the cash flow forecast
to actual results on a monthly and year-to-date basis. The template includes a monthly income statement, cash flow
statement and balance sheet. The cash flow projections are based on monthly turnover, gross profit and expense values
that are entered by the user as well as a number of default assumptions which are used to create an automated balance
sheet. The actual results are compiled from the actual account balances that are entered or copied into the template. Our On this sheet:
unique management report enables users to compare the forecast and actual balances by simply selecting the appropriate
month from a list box in a single input cell.
This sheet includes detailed instructions
on setting up and using this template.
Note: The template has been compiled for a 36 month period but if you only want to compare a forecast (or budget) to
actual results for the current financial year, you can delete the columns that relate to the second & third year.

Note: Refer to our Monthly Cash Flow Projection and Annual Cash Flow Projection templates if you only want to compile a
cash flow forecast and do not require a comparison to actual account balances. The monthly cash flow projection template
is compiled on the same basis as the cash flow forecast in this template but also includes an automated calculation of a
number of key financial ratios (input values can also easily be copied over to the forecast section in this template). The
annual cash flow projection template can be used to compile an annual cash flow forecast for a five year period.

Note: If you are using one of our accounting templates, the actual account balances can simply be copied from the
accounting template in order to record actual account balances for the purpose of this template.

The template includes the following sheets:


Assumptions - this sheet includes the default assumptions on which the monthly cash flow forecast balances are based.
You also need to specify the start date on which the template reporting periods are based on this sheet.
Forecast - this sheet includes the forecast income statement and cash flow statement for a 36 month period. All the rows
with yellow highlighting in column A require user input and the codes are used in the sales tax, receivables & payables
calculations. The rows that do not contain yellow highlighting in column A contain formulas and are therefore calculated
automatically.
Actual - this sheet includes a detailed income statement and cash flow statement that can be used to record the actual
financial results. All the rows that are highlighted in yellow in column A require user input. The rows that do not contain
yellow highlighting in column A contain formulas and are therefore calculated automatically.
BalanceSheets - this sheet includes the forecast and actual monthly balance sheets. The forecast balance sheet is
automatically calculated from the forecast assumptions and the forecast income statement & cash flow statement and no
additional user input is required. Most of the actual balance sheet balances require user input.
Loans1 to Loans3 & Leases - these sheets include detailed amortization tables which are used to calculate the forecast
interest and capital repayment amounts that are included on the forecast income statement and cash flow statement. Each
sheet provides for a different set of loan repayment terms to be specified.
Report - this sheet includes our unique management report which enables users to compare the forecast and actual
income statements, cash flow statements and balance sheets on a monthly and year-to-date basis. All the calculations on
this sheet are automated and users are only required to select the appropriate monthly period in order to update all the
calculations automatically.

Note: If you do not want to include any of the line items that are listed on the income statement, cash flow statement or
balance sheet, we recommend hiding these items instead of deleting them. If you delete items which are used in other
calculations, these calculations will result in errors which you then need to fix or remove.

Note: If you add additional line items to the forecast or actual sections of this template, you also need to add these
additional items to the other section and to the management report. The formulas on the management report can be
copied from one of the existing line items after you have added the new rows but it is important that all new items are
added in the same row positions on all sheets otherwise the formulas will not work properly.

Setup

Business Name & Reporting Periods

The business name and the start date for the template reporting periods need to be entered at the top of the Assumptions
sheet. The business name is included as a heading on all the sheets and the 36 month reporting period which is included
in the template is determined based on the start date that is specified. This date is used as the first month and 35
subsequent months are added to form the 3 year projection period.

User Input

The forecast & actual income statement, cash flow statement and balance sheet only require user input where there is
yellow highlighting in column A. All rows without yellow highlighting are automatically calculated as detailed in these
instructions. The exception is the balance sheet for actual results where all line items without light blue highlighting in
column A are subject to user input in all columns aside from the first column which contains the balance sheet opening
balances. Also note that even the user input rows contain annual totals that contain formulas which should not be replaced
with values.

Cash Flow Forecast

Income Statement

All monthly income statement projections need to be entered exclusive of any sales tax that may be applicable.

Turnover & Gross Profits

Monthly turnover values need to be entered on the Forecast sheet for all 36 months (excluding the annual totals in the
columns with dark blue column headings). The projected monthly gross profit percentages also need to be entered on this
sheet and are used in order to calculate the gross profit values. The monthly cost of sales projections are calculated by
simply deducting the gross profit values from the monthly turnover values.

The template includes two default lines in each of these sections - one for a typical product based item and one for a
typical service based item. The template can therefore be used for both service and trade based businesses. There are no
cost of sales and gross profit values in service based businesses and a gross profit percentage of 100% can therefore be
specified. You can also hide the cost of sales and gross profit sections if you do not want to include them in your cash flow
projections.

Note: You can insert as many additional line items as required by inserting the required number of items in each section
and then entering the appropriate values where user input is required or copying the formulas from one of the existing
lines. We recommend inserting additional line items between the two existing default line items.

Excel Skills | Monthly Cash Flow Template | Forecast vs Actual
Instructions
www.excel-skills.com

Note: If you insert additional line items on the Forecast sheet, you also need to insert these additional line items on the
Actual sheet and on the Report sheet in exactly the same row positions.

Note: The codes in column A are used in the sales tax and trade receivables calculations. The first two characters
represent the sales tax code and the last two characters represent the payment status. Refer to the Balance Sheet - Sales
Tax and Balance Sheet - Trade Receivables sections for more information on these codes.

Other Income
Monthly projections of other income should be entered in this row. Other income may consist of items like interest or
dividends received and this line item is not included in trade receivables and sales tax calculations. If you want to include
other income in the trade receivables or sales tax calculations, you need to add the income to the Turnover section as an
additional line item.

Operating Expenses

All the monthly operating expense projections need to be entered in the operating expenses section of the income
statement. The template contains 22 default operating expense line items but you can add as many additional items as
required or delete the line items that you do not need. When adding additional line items, remember to copy the formulas
in the total columns from one of the existing line items.

Note: If you insert additional expense items on the Forecast sheet, you also need to insert these additional expense items
on the Actual sheet and on the Report sheet in exactly the same row positions. Also, if you change the description of
operating expenses, you also need to make the same changes on the other two sheet. We recommend copying the
descriptions from the Forecast sheet and pasting the descriptions on the other two sheets once you have inserted new
rows for new expense items.

Note: The codes in column A are used in the sales tax and trade payables calculations. The first two characters represent
the sales tax code and the last two characters represent the payment status. Refer to the Balance Sheet - Sales Tax and
Balance Sheet - Trade Payables sections for more information on these codes.

Staff Costs
All the monthly staff cost projections need to be entered in the staff costs section of the income statement. The template
contains 2 default staff cost line items but you can add as many additional items as required or delete the line items that
you do not need. When adding additional line items, remember to copy the formulas in the total columns from one of the
existing line items.

Note: If you insert additional staff cost items on the Forecast sheet, you also need to insert these additional staff cost items
on the Actual sheet and on the Report sheet in exactly the same row positions. Also, if you change the description of staff
cost line items, you also need to make the same changes on the other two sheet. We recommend copying the descriptions
from the Forecast sheet and pasting the descriptions on the other two sheets once you have inserted new rows for new
staff cost items.

Note: The codes in column A are used in the sales tax and trade payables calculations. The first two characters represent
the sales tax code and the last two characters represent the payment status. Refer to the Balance Sheet - Sales Tax and
Balance Sheet - Trade Payables sections for more information on these codes.

Note: Staff costs have been included in a separate section on the income statement in order to be able to calculate payroll
accruals. If you do not need to include payroll accruals in your cash flow projections, we recommend entering nil values
and hiding these rows. If you delete the section, some of the payroll accrual formulas may result in errors and you
therefore may need to delete them as well.

Depreciation & Amortization

Monthly projections for depreciation and amortization need to be calculated independently of the template and included in
this section. We unfortunately cannot include default depreciation or amortization calculations because some businesses
may have very different asset bases than others with existing assets which may already have been depreciated over a
number of years. Any calculation which is based on a percentage of the balance sheet asset value may therefore not be
accurate.
If you already have a sheet which is used for depreciation or amortization calculations, you can include it in this template
and add formulas in the depreciation & amortization section of the income statement to include your calculations in these
line items.

We also realize that some users may want to include depreciation and amortization as part of their operating expenses.
We have therefore provided for this in that the depreciation and amortization calculations on the cash flow statement are
based on the default code which is included in column A. You can therefore enter nil values in the depreciation &
amortization section on the income statement, hide the section and include these line items in the operating expenses
section and as long as you also include the default codes in column A, the cash flow statement values for depreciation and
amortization will be calculated correctly.

Interest Paid

All interest paid calculations are automated and based on the amortization tables on the Loans1 to Loans3 and Leases
sheets. The template accommodates the inclusion of loans & leases based on four different sets of loan repayment terms
which need to be specified on the Assumptions sheet.

Opening loan balances are based on the balance sheet opening balances section on the Assumptions sheet and
additional loan amounts can be entered in the proceeds from loans section of the cash flow statement and will then
automatically be included in the appropriate amortization table.

You do not need to use all four loan amortization sheets - if you only need to include loans based on one set of repayment
terms, you can delete the other loan amortization sheets, delete the other interest paid rows on the income statement,
delete the other proceeds from loans rows on the cash flow statement, delete the other repayment of loans rows on the
cash flow statement and delete the other loan balances from the balance sheet.

The template provides for four sets of loan repayment terms - the same amortization table can basically be used for all
loans with the same repayment terms by adding additional loan amounts as proceeds to the cash flow statement in order
to add new loans to the appropriate amortization table.

Page 4 of 60
Excel Skills | Monthly Cash Flow Template | Forecast vs Actual
Instructions
www.excel-skills.com

If you need to add more than four sets of loan repayment terms, you will need to copy one of the amortization sheets,
change it to reflect the appropriate loan terms and then change the formulas in the amortization table to be based on the
correct loan repayment terms at the top of the sheet. This means that you need to add another set of repayment terms to
the Assumptions sheet and link the fields at the top of the new amortization table to the appropriate cells on the
Assumptions sheet.

If there is an opening balance for the required additional loan terms, you need to include a new code in the balance sheet
opening balances section on the Assumptions sheet and base the opening balance calculation in the first period of the
amortization schedule on this code. You also need to add new rows to the interest paid section on the income statement,
the loan proceeds section on the cash flow statement, the loan repayment section on the cash flow statement and the loan
balances section on the balance sheet. The appropriate formulas can be copied from one of the existing items and the
sheet reference in the copied formula can then just be replaced by the sheet name of the new amortization table that
you've added.

Taxation

The taxation line item on the income statement is automatically calculated based on the profit before tax and the income
tax assumptions which are specified on the Assumptions sheet. If you do not want to include income tax in the cash flow
projections, simply enter an income tax rate of 0%. This will result in no income tax being calculated.
If you do want to include income tax calculations, the income tax percentage needs to be entered in the Income Tax
section on the Assumptions sheet. You can also enter a value for an assessed loss (as a positive value) which may have
been carried over from a previous tax year which would result in income tax only being calculated after profits exceed the
value of the assessed loss.

You also need to specify the payment frequency in months and the first calendar month in which a payment needs to be
included. The template automatically provides for income tax based on what is due and includes the income statement
amount and a provision for taxation on the balance sheet. The payment frequency and month of payment assumptions are
then used to determine when the income tax liability will be settled which will result in the appropriate cash outflow being
recorded on the cash flow statement and the provision for taxation being reduced.

The template can accommodate income tax calculations based on current and subsequent month payments. If you select
the Current option, the income tax payment amount will be calculated based on all amounts that have accrued up to and
including the month of payment. If you select the Subsequent option, the income tax payment amount will only be
calculated based on all amounts which have accrued up to the previous month end.
Example: If you select the Current option in the Income Tax section of the Assumptions sheet, all income tax amounts up
to and including the current month will be included in the income tax payment amount. This means that the provision for
taxation at the end of the particular month will be nil. The Current setting is therefore usually appropriate for provisional
taxpayers.

Example: If you select the Subsequent option, all amounts up to and including the previous month end will be included in
the income tax payment amount. The provision for taxation balance on the balance sheet will therefore not be nil at the
end of the month of payment and include the current month's income tax charge.

Dividends

The template also includes automated dividends calculations. If you do not want to include any dividends in your cash flow
projections, you can simply specify a dividend percentage of zero percent.

If you want to include dividend calculations, you need to specify a dividend percentage which will be applied to the profit for
the period in order to calculate the dividend value. You also need to specify the frequency in months of dividend payments
and the first payment month. The frequency of dividends determines when the dividends are included on the income
statement and the first month of payment determines when the dividend payment is included on the cash flow statement
(only has an effect if the dividend payment option is Subsequent).

You can also specify whether the dividend is paid in the month of calculation (Cash option), the month after calculation
(Next option) or in a subsequent month. When you elect the subsequent month option, the payment of the dividend will be
included based on the relative position of the first month of payment in relation to the year-end period (which is determined
based on the template start date at the top of the Assumptions sheet).

Example: If you want to include a dividend in the last month of each financial year, select a payment frequency of 12
months and month 12 as the first payment month. Then select the Cash option in order to include both the dividend on the
income statement and the payment in the last month of the year.

Example: If you want to include a dividend in the last month of each financial year but delay payment to the first month of
the next financial year, select a payment frequency of 12 months and month 12 as the first payment month. Then select
the Next option to include the dividend on the income statement in the last month of the financial year and the payment in
the first month of the next financial year. A dividend payable amount will then automatically be included on the balance
sheet at year-end.

Balance Sheet

All the calculations on the forecast balance sheet are automated and no user input is therefore required.

Opening Balances
If you need to compile cash flow projections for an existing business, you will need to include the opening balance sheet
balances at the start of the cash flow projection period. This is facilitated in the Balance Sheet Opening Balances section
on the Assumptions sheet. The opening balances that are entered here are included in the first column on the balance
sheet.

You can use the trial balance as at the end of the period immediately before the start of the cash flow projection period for
this purpose. All assets should have positive balances and all equity & liabilities should have negative balances. The
opening balances should also balance to a total of nil as with any accounting system trial balance. If you enter balances
and the total of all balances is not nil, the entire opening balances section on the Assumptions sheet will be highlighted in
orange.

You then need to fix the imbalance by adjusting the opening balances so that the total comes to a total of nil. The orange
highlighting will then be removed automatically. Also note that the cash flow projection balance sheet cannot balance if the
opening balances do not balance.

Page 5 of 60
Excel Skills | Monthly Cash Flow Template | Forecast vs Actual
Instructions
www.excel-skills.com

Note: If you are preparing a cash flow projection for a new business, you can include zero balances for all the balance
sheet items in the opening balances section.

Non-Current Assets
The property, plant & equipment balances on the balance sheet are calculated by adding the purchases of property, plant
& equipment as entered on the cash flow statement and deducting the depreciation charges included on the income
statement.

Intangible assets balances are calculated in much the same way by adding the purchases of intangible assets as per the
cash flow statement and deducting the amortization charges which need to be entered on the income statement. The
calculation of the investments balances on the balance sheet is a bit simpler in that only the purchases of new investments
as per the cash flow statement is added to the previous month's balance and there is no depreciation or amortization on
investments.

Note: Purchases of property, plant & equipment, intangible assets and investments all need to be entered as negative
values on the cash flow statement.

Current Assets - Inventory

The inventory balances on the balance sheet are calculated based on the inventory days assumption which is specified on
the Assumptions sheet. The number of days that are entered here is applied to the monthly cost of sales in order to
calculate the appropriate inventory balance. This calculation is based on the actual number of days in each month if the
inventory days assumption is greater than the number of days in the appropriate month.

Example: If you enter an inventory days assumption of 60 days and the month is April, the entire cost of sales value for
April will be included in the inventory balance because April only has 30 days. After including the 30 days in April, there is
a difference of 30 days between the 60 days assumption and the 30 days in April. The March cost of sales balance will
therefore be used, divided by the 31 days in March and multiplied by the 30 remaining days. The inventory balance at the
end of April will therefore consist of the cost of sales total for April and an equivalent of 30 days of the 31 day cost of sales
of March.

Note: The above calculation principle is applied regardless of the number of days which are entered as the inventory days
assumption on the Assumptions sheet even if the value of the inventory days assumption requires the inclusion of more
than 2 months. This method of calculation is the most accurate way of projecting inventory balances even for businesses
where there is significant sales volatility.

Note: If your business does not carry inventory, you can simply enter a nil value in the inventory days assumption on the
Assumptions sheet. The inventory line on the balance sheet will then also contain nil values.
If you want to include variable monthly inventory days, you can do so by changing the inventory days assumption in the
Workings section of the balance sheet which has been included below the section with the ratios. Simply replace the
formula which links the inventory days assumption to the value on the Assumptions sheet by overwriting it with the
appropriate inventory days value.

Current Assets - Trade Receivables

The trade receivables balances on the balance sheet are calculated based on the debtors days assumption which is
specified on the Assumptions sheet. The debtors days number can be determined based on the average trading terms
which has been negotiated with customers. The debtors days is applied to the monthly turnover in order to calculate the
appropriate trade receivables balance. This calculation is based on the actual number of days in each month if the debtors
days assumption is greater than the number of days in the appropriate month.

Example: If you enter a debtors days assumption of 60 days and the month is April, the entire turnover value for April will
be included in the trade receivables balance because April only has 30 days. After including the 30 days in April, there is a
difference of 30 days between the 60 days assumption and the 30 days in April. The March turnover balance will therefore
be used, divided by the 31 days in March and multiplied by the 30 remaining days. The trade receivables balance at the
end of April will therefore consist of the turnover total for April and an equivalent of 30 days of the 31 day turnover of
March.

Note: The above calculation principle is applied regardless of the number of days which are entered in the debtors days
assumption on the Assumptions sheet even if the value of the debtors days assumption requires the inclusion of more than
2 months. This method of calculation is the most accurate way of projecting trade receivable balances even for businesses
where there is significant sales volatility.

Where sales tax is applicable, the appropriate sales tax value relating to monthly turnover will be added to the trade
receivables balance. Sales tax codes are defined on the Assumptions sheet and the codes in column A next to the
turnover amounts on the income statement are used to determine the appropriate rate of sales tax to be used.

The trade receivables calculation will also only include lines that are coded with a sales tax rate code (in the first two
characters) and a "C1" at the end of the code. The C1 part of the code refers to credit sales while the inclusion of a C0
code at the end refers to cash sales. Cash sales do not need to be included in the trade receivables calculation and
turnover lines with C0 or no code in column A are therefore ignored when calculating trade receivable balances.

Example: If the standard rate sales tax code is V1 and the appropriate turnover line needs to be included in the calculation
of trade receivables, the code V1C1 needs to be added in column A of the appropriate turnover line on the income
statement. If you do not want to add sales tax in the trade receivables calculation but you do want a trade receivables line
to be included in the balance sheet, you can add a code which refers to a 0% sales tax calculation as well as the C1 credit
sales indicator.

Example: If you do not want a particular turnover line to be included in the trade receivables calculation, you can include
any sales tax rate followed by C0 in order to exclude the line in the trade receivables calculations. For example, a turnover
line with a code of V1C0 would not form part of the trade receivables calculations.

Note: If your business has no trade receivables, you can simply enter a nil value in the debtors days assumption on the
Assumptions sheet. The trade receivables line on the balance sheet will then also contain nil values.
If you want to include variable monthly debtors days, you can do so by changing the debtors days assumption in the
Workings section of the balance sheet which has been included below the section with the ratios. Simply replace the
formula which links the debtors days assumption to the value on the Assumptions sheet by overwriting it with the
appropriate debtors days value.

Current Assets - Loans & Advances, Other Receivables

The loans and advances & other receivables balances cannot be calculated by basing them on specific income statement
items and they are therefore calculated by adding the movements in these balances as per the cash flow statement to the
balances of the previous month. If you therefore want to increase or decrease these balances, you need to add the
amount of the increase or decrease to the line with a matching description on the cash flow statement (under the changes
in operating assets section).

Current Assets - Cash & Cash Equivalents

The cash & cash equivalents balances on the balance sheet are linked to the closing cash balances on the cash flow
statement. If the resulting cash & cash equivalents balance has a negative value, it will automatically be included in the
bank overdraft line in the Current Liabilities section of the balance sheet.

Equity - Shareholders Contributions, Reserves

The shareholders contributions & reserves balances cannot be calculated by basing them on income statement items and
they are therefore calculated by adding the movements in these balances as per the cash flow statement to the balances
of the previous month. If you therefore want to increase or decrease these balances, you need to add the amount of the
increase or decrease to the line with a matching description on the cash flow statement.

Note: The shareholders contribution line on the cash flow statement can be found under the cash flow from financing
activities and the reserves line on the cash flow statement under the non-cash adjustments.

Equity - Retained Earnings

The retained earnings balances on the balance sheet are linked to the retained earnings for the year which is calculated on
the income statement.

Non-Current Liabilities - Loans 1 to 3, Leases

The template provides for loans & leases to be included based on 4 different sets of loan repayment terms. Loans with the
same repayment terms can be grouped together in the appropriate line item. There is no difference between the treatment
of loans 1 to 3 and leases. If you do not have finance leases and have loans with 4 different sets of repayment terms, you
can use the Leases sheet and rename the appropriate line items accordingly.

Note: The loan repayment period in years is limited to a maximum period of 30 years. If you want to include a loan
repayment period which exceeds this period, you need to change the data validation settings in the appropriate input cell
by selecting the data validation feature from the Data tab on the Excel ribbon and editing the maximum value of 30 which
has been set in the loan repayment period cells.
Each of the loan repayment terms can be specified in the Loan Terms section on the Assumptions sheet. The loan terms
include the annual interest rate, repayment period in years and a selection field which can be used to indicate interest-only
loans. These loan repayment terms are then included at the top of the loan amortization sheet on the Loans1 to Loans3
and Leases sheets.

Note: A set of loan terms can be specified as interest-only by selecting the "Yes" option from the interest-only drop-down
list in the appropriate loan terms on the Assumptions sheet. If this selection is made, the loan will be interest only and not
include any loan repayments.

All the calculations on the amortization sheets are fully automated. The loan terms are taken from the Assumptions sheet
and the opening balances in the first row of the amortization table are based on the opening balances that are entered in
the balance sheet opening balances section of the Assumptions sheet.
The loan repayments, interest charged and capital repayments are calculated based on the outstanding balances at the
beginning of each period. Additional loans can be added to the appropriate amortization table by entering the appropriate
values in the proceeds from loans section on the cash flow statement (under the cash flow from financing activities
section).

The outstanding loan or lease balances at the end of each monthly period are then included in the appropriate lines on the
balance sheet.

Current Liabilities - Bank Overdraft

The bank overdraft as well as cash & cash equivalents are based on the closing cash balances which are calculated on
the cash flow statement. If the appropriate monthly closing balance is negative, the balance is included as a bank overdraft
and if it is positive, it is included as cash under current assets on the balance sheet.

Current Liabilities - Trade Payables

The trade payables balances on the balance sheet are calculated based on the creditors days assumption which is
specified on the Assumptions sheet. The number of days that are included here can be determined based on the average
trading terms which has been negotiated with suppliers.

The monthly cost of sales, operating expenses and staff costs on the income statement are added together in order to
determine a monthly value on which the trade payables calculations should be based. Expenses and costs which are paid
on a cash basis can be excluded from the trade payables calculation by entering a code which ends in C0 in column A on
the income statement. The codes in column A start with the appropriate two character sales tax code and end with the two
character payables code.

Example: The expense codes in column A for all line items that need to be included in the trade payables calculation and
which need to be subject to sales tax at a standard rate should be V1C1. If the expense item is settled on a cash basis and
also subject to the standard sales tax rate, the code in column A should be V1C0 which will then result in the item not
being included in the trade payables calculation.

If you want to also include purchases of property, plant & equipment in the trade payables calculation, the standard code
of PPE in column A on the cash flow statement needs to be amended to the appropriate code which starts with the sales
tax code and ends with C1. For standard sales tax, the code will therefore be V1C1.

Like the calculation of inventory and trade receivables balances, the trade payables balances on the balance sheet are
based on the actual number of days in each month if the creditors days assumption is greater than the days in the
appropriate month.

Example: If you enter a creditors days assumption of 60 days and the month is April, the entire cost of sales & expense
value for April will be included in the trade payables balance because April only has 30 days. After including the 30 days in
April, there is a difference of 30 days between the 60 days assumption and the 30 days in April. The March cost of sales &
expense balance will therefore be used, divided by the 31 days in March and multiplied by the 30 remaining days. The
trade payables balance at the end of April will therefore consist of the cost of sales & expenses total for April and an
equivalent of 30 days of the 31 day cost of sales & expense values of March.

Note: The above calculation principle is applied regardless of the number of days which are entered as the creditors days
assumption on the Assumptions sheet even if the value of the creditors days assumption requires the inclusion of more
than 2 months. This method of calculation is the most accurate way of projecting trade payables balances even for
businesses where there is significant sales or expense volatility.
Where sales tax is applicable, the appropriate sales tax value relating to monthly cost of sales & expenses will be added to
the trade payables balance. Sales tax codes are defined on the Assumptions sheet and the code in column A next to the
cost of sales & expense amounts on the income statement are used to determine the appropriate rate of sales tax to be
used.

The trade payables calculation will also only include lines that are coded with a sales tax rate code (in the first two
characters) and a "C1" at the end of the code. The C1 part of the code refers to purchases on credit while the inclusion of
a C0 code at the end refers to cash purchases. Cash purchases do not need to be included in the trade payables
calculation and cost of sales & expense lines with C0 or no code in column A are therefore ignored when calculating trade
payables balances.

Example: If the standard rate sales tax code is V1 and the appropriate cost of sales or expense line needs to be included
in the calculation of trade payables, the code V1C1 needs to be added in column A of the appropriate line on the income
statement. If you do not want to add sales tax in the trade payables calculation but you do want a trade payables line to be
included in the balance sheet, you can add a code which refers to a 0% sales tax calculation as well as the C1 credit
purchases indicator.

Example: If you do not want a particular cost of sales or expense line to be included in the trade payables calculation, you
can include any sales tax rate followed by C0 in order to exclude the line in the trade payables calculations. For example,
an expense or cost of sales line item with a code of V1C0 in column A on the income statement would not form part of the
trade payables calculations.

Note: If your business has no trade payables, you can simply enter a nil value in the creditors days assumption on the
Assumptions sheet. The trade payables line on the balance sheet will then also contain nil values.
If you want to include variable monthly creditors days, you can do so by changing the creditors days assumption in the
Workings section of the balance sheet which has been included below the section with the ratios. Simply replace the
formula which links the creditors days assumption to the value on the Assumptions sheet by overwriting it with the
appropriate creditors days value.

Current Liabilities - Sales Tax

The template accommodates the inclusion of sales tax in all relevant calculations based on four default sales tax
calculation codes and any sales tax period. All income statement and cash flow statement items need to be entered
exclusive of any sales tax that may be applicable and the trade receivables and trade payables balances on the balance
sheet will be calculated inclusive of sales tax. The net sales tax liability is included in the Sales Tax line on the balance
sheet.

The template can be used for general sales tax (GST) and value added tax (VAT) purposes. Where there is no sales tax
input which reduces the sales tax liability, the codes in column A on the income statement can simply be changed to
contain a sales tax code (in the first two characters of the code) which has a zero percentage. Only the sales tax codes
that are included next to the turnover lines will then be included in sales tax calculations (as required by some general
sales tax calculations).
The appropriate sales tax percentages can be entered in the Sales Tax section of the Assumptions sheet. The template
provides for 4 default sales tax codes, each with its own sales tax percentage. The sales tax codes are numbered from V1
to V4.

The income statement contains codes in column A which affects the calculations of sales tax and trade receivables or
trade payables. The first two characters of these codes determine which sales tax percentage is used in the sales tax
calculations. If an income statement item needs to be excluded from sales tax calculations, you should use a sales tax
code with a zero percentage on the Assumptions sheet.

Note: Each line on the income statement can therefore only be linked to one sales tax percentage. If more than one sales
tax percentage needs to be applied to the same income statement item, you need to split the income statement amount
into two lines and enter the appropriate sales tax codes in column A for each of the lines.

Note: If you are preparing cash flow projections for a business which is not subject to sales tax, simply enter zero
percentages for all four sales tax codes.

The sales tax assumptions that need to be specified on the Assumptions sheet also include the frequency of sales tax
payments (in months) and the calendar month of the first payment period. You can therefore calculate sales tax based on
any period frequency from one to twelve months.

Example: If your business is subject to sales tax payments of every two months and the first payment is due in February, a
frequency of 2 needs to be specified and the first payment month should be set to 2 for February. Similarly, if your
business is subject to sales tax payments of every 6 months with payments due in March and August, the frequency
should be set to 6 and the first payment month should be set to 3. If your business is subject to monthly sales tax payment
periods, the frequency should be 1 and the first payment month should also be 1.

The Current or Subsequent setting in the Sales Tax section on the Assumptions sheet determines how the calculated
sales tax amounts of the current period are handled. If you select the Current option, the sales tax amounts of the current
period will be included in the calculation of the payment amount which is due in the particular month and the sales tax
liability at the end of the payment month will be nil.
If you select the Subsequent setting, the sales tax amount of the current period is not included in the calculation of the
payment amount and the sales tax liability at the end of the appropriate payment month will always include at least one
month.

Excel Skills | Monthly Cash Flow Template | Forecast vs Actual
Instructions
www.excel-skills.com

Note: The Subsequent setting is usually the appropriate setting to use for sales tax purposes. The Current settings is more
applicable to tax types which are subject to provisional tax.

Example: If you set a payment frequency of 1 month, first payment month of 1 and select the Current option, the sales tax
liability on the balance sheet will always be nil because the current month's sales tax will be included in the sales tax
payment. If you have the same period settings and select the Subsequent option, the sales tax liability on the balance
sheet will always include the current month's sales tax because the payment amount will be based on the previous month's
sales tax.

Note: The first payment month setting refers to the month of payment and not the sales tax period end. There is a
difference - a sales tax period may end in February with payment in March which means that the first payment month of
the calendar year is actually January or month 1 (if the payment frequency is two months).

Current Liabilities - Payroll Accruals

The payroll accrual on the balance sheet is based on the payroll accrual assumptions in the Working Capital section of the
Assumptions sheet and the amounts in the staff costs section of the income statement. If payroll deductions are paid in the
same month as they are incurred, you can set the payroll accrual percentage to zero and the payroll accrual balances on
the balance sheet will also be zero.

Staff costs have been included in a separate section on the income statement to make it easier to calculate payroll accrual
balances. You can however include staff costs in operating expenses but you need to ensure that you also include the
"PAY" code in column A for all the staff costs that you want to include in the payroll accrual calculations.

You also need to specify the appropriate percentage of staff costs which needs to be included in your payroll accruals.
This percentage should be based on the percentage of staff costs which are paid in a subsequent month and is based on
the current month's staff costs. Payroll accruals usually consist of salary & wage deductions which need to be paid over to
third parties and differ from entity to entity. You therefore need to calculate the appropriate payroll accrual percentage
based on the composition of the salary or wage structures of all employees.

The payroll accrual assumptions that need to be specified on the Assumptions sheet also include the frequency of payroll
accrual payment periods (in months) and the payment month of the first payroll accrual period. You can therefore calculate
payroll accruals based on any payment period frequency from one to twelve months. The calculated payroll accruals are
added together in the payroll accrual balance until the month of payment.

Example: If you need to settle payroll accruals every two months and the first payment is due in February, a frequency of 2
needs to be specified and the first payment month should be set to 2 for February. Similarly, if you settle payroll accruals
every 6 months with payments due in March and August, the frequency should be set to 6 and the first payment month
should be set to 3. If you settle payroll accruals on a monthly basis, the frequency should be 1 and the first payment month
should also be 1.

The Current or Subsequent setting in the Payroll Accruals section on the Assumptions sheet determines how the
calculated payroll accrual amounts of the current period are handled. If you select the Current option, the payroll accrual
amounts of the current period will be included in the calculation of the payment amount which is due in the particular month
and the payroll accrual balance at the end of the payment month will be nil.

If you select the Subsequent setting, the payroll accrual amounts of the current period are not included in the calculation of
the payment amount and the payroll accrual balances on the balance sheet at the end of the appropriate payment month
will always include at least one month.

Note: The Subsequent setting is usually the appropriate setting to use for payroll accrual purposes. The Current setting is
more applicable to tax types which are subject to provisional tax payments where payment occurs in the same month as
the tax calculation.

Example: If you set a payment frequency of 1 month, first payment month of 1 and select the Current option, the payroll
accruals on the balance sheet will always be nil because the current month's payroll accruals will be included in the
payment calculation. If you have the same period settings and select the Subsequent option, the payroll accruals will
always include the current month's payroll accrual because the payment amount will be based on the previous month's
payroll accrual.

Note: The first payment month setting refers to the month of payment and not the payroll accrual period end. There is a
difference - a payroll accrual period may end in February with payment in March which means that the first payment month
of the calendar year is actually January or month 1 (if the payment frequency is two months).

If you want to include payroll accruals based on variable monthly payroll accrual percentages, you can do so by changing
the payroll accrual percentage assumption in the Workings section of the balance sheet which has been included below
the section with the ratios. Simply replace the formula which links the payroll accrual percentage assumption to the value
on the Assumptions sheet by overwriting it with the appropriate payment accrual percentage.

Current Liabilities - Other Accruals, Other Provisions

The other accrual & other provisions balances cannot be calculated by basing them on specific income statement items
and they are therefore calculated by adding the movements in these balances as per the cash flow statement to the
balances of the previous month. If you therefore want to increase or decrease these balances, you need to add the
amount of the increase or decrease to the line with a matching description on the cash flow statement (under the changes
in operating assets section).

Current Liabilities - Provision for Taxation

The calculation of income tax on the income statement is based on the profit before tax on the income statement and the
assumptions that are specified in the Income Tax section on the Assumptions sheet.
The profit before tax amount is multiplied by the income tax percentage on the Assumptions sheet in order to calculate the
monthly income tax value. If there is a loss before tax on the income statement, no income tax will be calculated but if
there were profits before the period with the loss, the income tax that was calculated in previous periods will be reversed in
the period with the loss.
The template also makes provision for the inclusion of an assessed loss which has been carried over from previous
financial periods and income tax will only be calculated after the assessed loss has been fully reduced by profits in the
projection periods.

Page 9 of 60
Excel Skills | Monthly Cash Flow Template | Forecast vs Actual
Instructions
www.excel-skills.com

The income tax assumptions on the Assumptions sheet also include the frequency of payment of income tax (in months)
and the calendar month of the first income tax payment. You can therefore calculate a provision for income tax based on
any payment period frequency from one to twelve months. The calculated income tax amounts are added together in the
provision for income tax balance on the balance sheet until the month of payment.

Example: If you need to settle income tax liabilities every six months and the income tax payments are due in February
and August of each year, a frequency of 6 needs to be specified and the first calendar month should be set to 2 for
February. Similarly, if you settle income tax liabilities at the end of each quarter with payments due in March, June,
September and December, the frequency should be set to 3 and the first payment month should also be set to 3. If you
need to settle income tax liabilities 9 months after each year-end and the cash flow projection year-end is February, the
frequency should be set to 12 months and the first payment month should be set to 11.

The Current or Subsequent setting in the Income Tax section on the Assumptions sheet determines how the income tax
amounts of the current period are handled. If you select the Current option, the income tax amounts of the current period
will be included in the calculation of the payment amount which is due in the particular month and the provision for income
tax balance on the balance sheet at the end of the payment month will be nil.

If you select the Subsequent setting, the income tax amounts of the current period are not included in the calculation of the
payment amount and the provision for income tax balance on the balance sheet at the end of the appropriate payment
month will always include income tax for at least one month.

Note: The Current setting is usually the appropriate setting to use for income tax purposes if the entity is a provisional
taxpayer which effectively means that income tax is paid in advance. If the entity is not a provisional taxpayer, the
Subsequent setting should be used because income tax will be settled after being incurred.

Current Liabilities - Dividends Payable

The calculation of dividends on the income statement is based on the profit for the year on the income statement and the
assumptions that are specified in the Dividends section on the Assumptions sheet. Dividends will only be calculated if you
enter a dividend percentage on the Assumptions sheet - if you therefore do not want to include dividends in your cash flow
projections, you can simply enter a zero value as the dividend percentage.
The dividend percentage specified on the Assumptions sheet is applied to the profit for the year on the income statement
which can be found directly above the dividends line. Dividends will also only be calculated if there is a cumulative profit for
the year.

The dividends assumptions on the Assumptions sheet also include the frequency of payment of dividends (in months) and
the first calendar month of the dividend payment. You can therefore calculate dividends based on any payment period
frequency from one to twelve months (although 6 or 12 months is the norm). The calculated dividends amounts are added
together in the dividends payable balance on the balance sheet until the month of payment.

Example: If dividends are declared every six months, you need to specify a frequency of 6 months on the Assumptions
sheet and then select the appropriate payment basis. Dividends will be reflected on the income statement every 6 months
and the dividends payable balances on the balance sheet will be determined based on the first payment month and the
payment option which is selected (Cash, Next or Subsequent). Similarly, if the payment frequency is set to 12 months,
dividends will be included on the income statement every 12 months and the dividends payable balance will be determined
based on the first payment month and the payment option.

The Cash, Next or Subsequent setting in the Dividends section on the Assumptions sheet determines how the dividends
payable balances on the balance sheet are calculated and therefore also when the dividend payment will be included on
the cash flow statement.
If you select the Cash option, the dividend payable balances on the balance sheet will always be nil and what this means is
that the dividend payment is effectively included in the same month as the month in which the dividend is declared. The
month in which the declared dividend is included is based on the payment frequency (in months) and the cash flow
projection year-end.

If you select the Next option, the dividend payment will be included in the month after the month in which the dividend
amount is included on the income statement. The dividend payable balance on the balance sheet will therefore only
contain a balance in the dividend declaration month.

If you select the Subsequent option, dividends will be included on the income statement based on the frequency setting on
the Assumptions sheet and the payment of the dividend will be delayed until the first payment month is reached. A
dividends payable balance will be reflected on the balance sheet in all months until the payment month is reached.
Example: If you set the dividend payment frequency to 12 months, a dividend amount will be included on the income
statement in the last month of the appropriate cash flow projection year. If the payment option is set to Cash, no dividend
payable amount will be included on the balance sheet and the dividend payment will be included on the cash flow
statement in the same month.

Example: If you set the dividend payment frequency to 12 months and the payment option is set to Next, the dividend will
be included on the income statement in the last month of the appropriate cash flow projection year, the dividend payable at
the end of the financial year will equal the income statement amount and the dividend payment will be included in the first
month of the next financial year.

Example: If you set the dividend payment frequency to 12 months and the payment option is set to Subsequent, the
dividend will be included on the income statement in the last month of the appropriate cash flow projection year and the
dividend payable at the end of the financial year and all subsequent months in the new financial year until the first payment
month is reached will equal the income statement amount. The dividend payment will be included in the first payment
month as set on the Assumptions sheet but in the year after inclusion on the income statement.

If the cash flow projection year-end as per the above example is February, the first payment month is set to 9 for
September and the Subsequent payment option is selected, the dividend will be included in February on the income
statement and the same amount will be included as a dividend payable on the balance sheet from February to August of
the next financial year. The dividend payment will then be included in September on the cash flow statement and the
dividend payable at the end of September will be nil.

Forecast Balance Sheet Errors


If the balance sheet for any monthly period does not balance, the amount of the imbalance will be included in the row
below the total equities & liabilities and displayed in red. The template has been designed in such a way that the forecast
balance sheet should always be in balance as long as the total of the balance sheet opening balances which are included
on the Assumptions sheet is nil.

If you see an imbalance on the balance sheet, you therefore need to check the opening balance sheet balances on the
Assumptions sheet and ensure that the total of all the opening balances in this section is nil.

If fixing the opening balances does not resolve your imbalance, you can e-mail our Support function and let us know what
changes you have made to the formulas in the template so that we can assist you. If you have made a lot of changes, you
may need to start over with the downloaded copy of the template.

Balance Sheet Workings

We have included all the calculations which form part of the calculation of forecast balance sheet balances in the Workings
section below the actuals balance sheet. These workings will not be printed and are for information purposes only. You
can therefore hide this section if you do not want to see it on the sheet but do not delete any of these formulas because it
will result in calculation errors if you do!

Cash Flow Statement


All rows on the forecast cash flow statement which require user input have yellow highlighting in column A. All other rows
contain formulas which automate the calculations of these items which are all based on income statement or balance
sheet values.
The input rows on the cash flow statement are all related to balance sheet items where the calculations on the balance
sheet are based on adding the movement on the cash flow statement to the previous month's balance on the balance
sheet. If you need more guidance on any of these items, refer to the appropriate section for the particular item under the
Balance Sheet section.
Note: The colour of the codes in column A on the cash flow statement indicate whether positive or negative values need to
be entered to increase the appropriate balance sheet item's balance. If the code is green, positive input values increase
the balance sheet balance and if the code is red, you need to enter negative values in order to increase the balance sheet
balances.

Loan Amortization Tables (Loans1 to Loans3 & Leases sheets)


The template makes provision for including loans with up to four different sets of repayment terms in the cash flow
projections. The amortization tables that are used to calculate the interest charges, additional loan amounts, loan
repayments and outstanding balances have been included on the Loans1, Loans2, Loans3 and Leases sheets. No user
input is required on these sheets.

Note: Refer to the instructions in the income statement - interest paid section and the balance sheet - non-current liabilities
section for guidance on how these amortization tables have been compiled and where to include user input for each of
these amortization tables.

Actual Results

Income Statement

Actual monthly account balances should be entered in the appropriate rows on the Actual sheet. All the rows that require
user input have been indicated with yellow highlighting in column A. Rows that do not contain yellow highlighting in column
A contain formulas and are therefore calculated automatically.
Note: The cost of sales and gross profit values are calculated based on the gross profit percentages that are specified for
each turnover line item. These rows therefore do not require user input as long as you enter the required gross profit
percentages.

Note: If you are using one of our accounting templates, the actual account balances can simply be copied from the
accounting template and pasted into the appropriate rows in this template.

Balance Sheet

Both the forecast and actual balance sheets are included on the BalanceSheets sheet - the actuals balance sheet is
included below the forecast balance sheet. Most of the balance sheet items that are included on the actuals balance sheet
require user input. You therefore need to enter or copy the appropriate balances onto the balance sheet. The rows that do
not require user input are highlighted in light blue in column A. Also note that the columns with the annual balance sheet
values contain formulas which should not be overwritten with values.
Note: The first column in the actuals balance sheet also contains formulas which pick up the balance sheet opening
balances from the Assumptions sheet automatically. The opening balances for both the forecast & actual balance sheets
are the same.

Note: If the actuals balance sheet does not balance the value of the imbalance will be reflected below the total equities &
liabilities row. If there is an imbalance, you need to check that all income statement and balance sheet user input values
have been included correctly and fix any errors that may exist.

Cash Flow Statement

The cash flow statement for the actual results is included below the income statement for actuals on the Actual sheet. The
actuals cash flow statement requires no user input aside from the proceeds from loans items and all other cash flow
statement balances are calculated automatically based on the income statement & balance sheet user input values which
need to be entered or copied onto these reports.
Note: The loans & lease balance sheet balances are used to calculate the loan repayment amounts on the actuals cash
flow statement and the user input in the proceeds from loans rows are removed from these balances so that all loan
repayments are included in the repayment rows. If you do not enter any proceeds from loans, the balance sheet will
however still balance.

Management Report

Page 11 of 60
Excel Skills | Monthly Cash Flow Template | Forecast vs Actual
Instructions
www.excel-skills.com

The management report on the Report sheet can be used to compare forecast and actual account balances on a monthly
and year-to-date basis. All the calculations on the this sheet are automated and the report can be compiled for any monthly
period by simply selecting the appropriate period from the list box at the top of the sheet.

Note: The only user input that is required aside from selecting the appropriate reporting period is the customization of the
expense accounts in the Expenses section of the report. The expense accounts that are included on the Forecast, Actual
and Report sheets should be exactly the same, otherwise the calculations on the management report may not be accurate.

Note: If you add any rows to the cash flow forecast or actual results sheets, you also need to add these rows to the Report
sheet otherwise your balance sheets may not balance.

Note: If the balance sheet for any of the periods that are included in the report does not balance, an error will be displayed
in the balance sheet status row at the bottom of the sheet and highlighted in orange. The value of the imbalance will also
be displayed above the error. This error should be resolved by comparing the values on the report sheet to the values on
the Forecast, Actual and BalanceSheets sheets. If there is no imbalance on these sheets, the error may be the result of
rows being added to those sheets and not being added to the Report sheet.

All the calculations on the management report are based on the date that is selected from the list box at the top of the
sheet. This list box includes all 36 monthly periods that are included in the template. When you change the period
selection, all the calculations on the management report are updated automatically.

Note: If you change the start date of the template, the current period selection at the top of the management report may
become invalid and be highlighted in orange. This error can be cleared by simply selecting a valid period.
