How do you calculate cash flow?

E.V.

Subtract your outgoing cash from your incoming cash.

Basically you're seeing whether you turned a profit or not. Example: $5000 starting balance, $1000 incoming cash, $100 outgoing cash. Forget the starting balance completely and just focus on the incoming/outgoing. Your cash flow would be $900 in this case.

If your incoming was $100 and your outgoing was $900, your cash flow would be -$900.
