The Problem
Cash surprises are expensive.
Most finance tools tell you what's' already happened. DailyForecast helps you understand what is going to happen.
Business owners often know their monthly income and expenses, but still struggle with:
- Unexpected VAT or tax bills
- Tight cash-flow periods
- Late customer payments
- Overspending before liabilities are due
- Loan and credit card repayments
- Knowing whether they can afford a purchase or hire
- Understanding future account balances
- Managing savings and tax pots effectively
Monthly forecasts rarely show the real timing of cash. DailyForecast solves this by forecasting your money day by day.
The Solution
Forecast every account, pot, payment, and scenario.
DailyForecast gives you a practical day-by-day view of future cash movement. Instead of broad monthly totals, you can see:
- What money is expected to come in
- What money is expected to go out
- When balances become tight
- How tax reserves build over time
- What your accounts and pots should contain
- The impact of future decisions before you make them
Whether you run a limited company, freelance business, consultancy, or personal budget, DailyForecast helps you plan ahead with clarity.

Regular Payments
Model recurring income, expenses, and one-off events
Regular Payments are the core of the forecasting engine. You can model:
- Monthly retainers
- Weekly customer income
- Payroll
- Rent and subscriptions
- Insurance
- Director drawings
- Dividends
- Loan repayments
- Credit card repayments
- Annual renewals
- One-off purchases
- Tax payments
Each forecast item supports:
- Flexible frequencies
- Start and end dates
- VAT-inclusive calculations
- Tax reserve deductions
- Source and target accounts
- Split distributions into pots
- Debt repayment tracking
You can even adjust a single forecast occurrence without changing the entire series.
Accounts & Pots
Forecast where your money sits – not just your total cash
DailyForecast models the real-world way businesses manage money. Create and forecast:
- Bank accounts
- VAT pots
- Payroll
- Corporation tax pots
- Savings pots
- Credit cards
- Pension pots
- Loan accounts
- Director loan accounts
Move money automatically between accounts and pots as part of your forecast rules. For example, when income arrives:
- Move VAT into a VAT pot
- Reserve corporation tax automatically
- Transfer a percentage into savings
- Repay a credit card balance
This gives you a far more realistic forecast than traditional cash-flow tools.
What-If Scenarios
Test decisions before you commit
Create multiple forecast scenarios without affecting your baseline plan. Example scenarios might include:
- Hiring a contractor
- Buying equipment
- Losing a customer
- Increasing prices
- Delaying a project
- Taking a loan
- Testing slower payment terms
- Forecasting optimistic vs conservative growth
Clone existing scenarios, compare outcomes, and safely experiment with business decisions.
