How to Use These Calculators

Step-by-step guides to help you understand our financial tools

📈 Cash Flow Planner

Track money coming in and going out. See if you'll have enough cash to pay bills each month.

🤔 What Is Cash Flow?

Cash flow is about timing. It's money coming into your business (income) and money going out (expenses). Even profitable businesses can have cash problems if money goes out faster than it comes in.

💡 Example

You buy supplies for $500 today. You make $1,200 in sales this week. But if your supplier wants payment now and customers pay next week, you have a cash flow problem even though you're making money!

📝 How to Use It

1
Enter Starting Cash

How much is in your bank right now? Check your balance and enter that number.

2
List Money Coming In

Sales, client payments, refunds. Only count money you're sure will come in.

3
List Money Going Out

Rent, wages, supplies, utilities, insurance, loan payments. Every bill counts!

4
Click Calculate

See if you'll run out of money or have extra cash.

📊 Understanding Results

✅ Positive (Good!)

More coming in than going out. You can pay bills and save.

⚠️ Negative (Warning!)

Spending more than earning. Increase income or cut expenses fast.

🛣️ Cash Runway Explained

What it is: Months you can survive if income stops. Current cash ÷ monthly expenses.

Example: $15,000 cash, $5,000/month expenses = 3 months runway.

Good: 6+ months | OK: 3-6 months | Risky: Under 3 months

💼 Working Capital Calculator

Find out if you have enough money to run your business day-to-day.

🤔 What Is Working Capital?

Money available to run your business daily. It's what you own (cash, products) minus what you owe (bills due soon).

💡 Example

$10,000 in bank + $8,000 in products = $18,000. Minus $5,000 in bills = $13,000 working capital.

📝 How to Use It

1
Enter Current Assets

Money in bank, money customers owe you, inventory you can sell.

2
Enter Current Liabilities

Credit cards, supplier bills, short-term loans, taxes, rent.

3
Enter Monthly Revenue

Average monthly income. Look at last 3-6 months.

4
Click Calculate

See your working capital health score.

📊 Understanding Results

💰 Working Capital

Good: Positive number
Bad: Negative number

📊 Current Ratio

Good: 1.5-3.0
OK: 1.0-1.5
Bad: Below 1.0

⚡ Quick Ratio

Good: Above 1.0
Bad: Below 1.0

🔄 WC Ratio

Good: 12-20%
High: Over 30%
Low: Under 10%

🎯 What Each Ratio Means

Current Ratio: Assets ÷ Liabilities. For every $1 owed, how much you have. 2.0 = $2 per $1 owed.

Quick Ratio: (Cash + Receivables) ÷ Liabilities. Can you pay NOW without selling inventory?

WC Ratio: Working Capital ÷ Monthly Revenue. Percent of sales tied up in operations.

💡 Real Example

$50K assets, $30K liabilities, $25K monthly revenue

Working Capital: $20K ✅ | Current Ratio: 1.67 ✅ | WC Ratio: 80% ⚠️

Meaning: Safe to pay bills but could be more efficient with cash.

📈 Financial Health Score

90-100: Excellent | 70-89: Good | 50-69: Fair | Below 50: Poor

Score combines all ratios. Perfect ratios = 100 points. Each healthy ratio adds points.

💡 Pro Tip

Keep working capital = 30 days expenses. $10K/month expenses = $10K working capital minimum.

🎯 What to Do Next

Healthy (1.5+):
  • Monitor monthly
  • Build emergency fund
  • Consider investments
Tight (1.0-1.5):
  • Watch expenses
  • Collect faster
  • Get line of credit
Negative (Below 1.0):

FAQs

Got Questions? We've Got Answers

What's the difference between MCA and a traditional business loan?

+

A Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) is repaid through a percentage of your daily credit card sales, while traditional loans have fixed monthly payments. MCAs are faster to obtain (24-48 hours vs weeks), require lower credit scores (600+ vs 680+), and don't require collateral. However, they typically have higher costs than traditional loans.

What are the minimum requirements to qualify for MCA funding?

+

To qualify for an MCA with Trulo Capital, you need: (1) Business bank statements, (2) Minimum $10,000 in monthly revenue, and (3) A credit score of 600 or above. These requirements are significantly lower than traditional lenders, making MCAs accessible to more small businesses.

How long does it take to get approved and receive funds?

+

MCA approvals typically take 24-48 hours, with funds deposited within 1-2 business days. Business Lines of Credit take 2-5 days, Term Loans take 7-14 days, and SBA Loans can take 30+ days. The fastest option for urgent needs is an MCA.

Will using a calculator trigger a hard credit inquiry?

+

No. Our calculators are estimation tools only and do not perform any credit checks. You can use them as many times as you want without affecting your credit score in any way.

What documents do I need to begin the application process?

+

To begin a submission, you'll need 3 months of business bank statements and a completed application. To finalize funding, we'll also need a driver's license (color copy) and a voided business check or bank letter. The process is simple and can be completed in minutes.

Can I qualify for multiple types of financing at the same time?

+

Yes, many businesses use multiple financing products. For example, you might have an MCA for immediate needs and a Business Line of Credit for ongoing cash flow management. Use our calculators to compare options and determine which combination works best for your business goals.
