The Cash Flow from Assets (CFFA) Calculator helps determine how much net cash a business generates from its operations that is available to be distributed to both creditors (lenders) and owners (shareholders). It measures the actual cash flow generated after accounting for reinvestments in assets and operational funding needs.

This calculator uses three key financial components:

Operating Cash Flow (OCF): The cash generated from the company’s regular operating activities, such as sales of goods and services.

Capital Expenditure (CapEx): Money spent to acquire or upgrade physical assets like buildings, equipment, or machinery. This is a cash outflow.

Change in Working Capital: The net change in short-term assets and liabilities (such as inventory, receivables, and payables). An increase in working capital is considered a use of cash.

? Purpose
By combining these components, the CFFA provides a clear picture of how much cash is left over after a company has invested in its long-term assets and maintained its short-term operational needs.

This figure is important for:

Evaluating a company's financial flexibility

Assessing the potential to repay debt, pay dividends, or reinvest in growth

Understanding a business's ability to generate value beyond just profits
