Methodology / Glossary / Cumulative Cash Flow

Cumulative Cash Flow

The running total of all cash flows from project start. Cumulative cash flow starts at zero, dips negative during construction (money going out), and eventually rises back to positive as sales revenue comes in.

Why it matters

The lowest point of the cumulative cash flow curve is peak funding. The final value is total project profit.
