How to read this tool

Use one consistent period. Profit is earned revenue less incurred expenses; cash uses actual receipts and payments. Include depreciation in expenses, not cash paid. Include interest paid in operating payments, not loan principal. Do not double-count asset purchases or financing. This is a simplified comparison, not a complete cash-flow statement.

Profit and cash differ because revenue and expenses may be recognised before the related cash moves. Ask about outstanding invoices, payment timing and working capital.
