Personal cash flow forecasting

A personal cash flow forecast shows where your balance is going — not where it was.

CashGapRadar uses the dates and amounts you enter to make short-term cash timing visible. The goal is not to predict every purchase; it is to reveal the known points where the balance may become tight.

Forward-looking, not backward-looking

A personal cash flow forecast asks what happens next.

An expense tracker records what already happened. A short-term cash forecast starts with the balance you have now, places expected income and important payments on their actual dates, and carries the balance forward.

That makes a different problem visible: a month can be affordable overall while the timing inside the month still creates a temporary shortfall.

Simple timing example
  1. Sep 1Rent leaves the account
  2. Sep 5Insurance is due
  3. Sep 8Paycheck arrives

The monthly total can be positive while Sep 5 is still the lowest point.
