Project and starting position
Where the forecast begins, and what is in the account on day one.
What the project can actually draw on at the start, not the company balance.
Shortening the forecast hides the later months, it does not delete them. Lengthen it again and whatever you typed is still there.
Month by month
For each month, what you expect to receive and what you expect to pay. Money that actually moves, not work certified or invoices raised.

Fill in the opening cash and the first month, and the answer appears here as you type.
- The closing cash balance of every month, rolled forward
- The month the project runs short, and how much it needs
- How long the deficit lasts, and the month it recovers
- What happens to all of it if the client pays 30 days late
- How much of your money arrives in a single month, and when
Forecasting project cash in a spreadsheet?
This planner works from the forecast you enter. It cannot know what the project did yesterday.
OraOS Construction connects cash flow to certificates, receivables, procurement, subcontractors and actual project costs, so the forecast moves with the project instead of being retyped every month, and across every job at once rather than one at a time.
- Receipts from real certificates and what is still outstanding
- Payments from purchase orders and subcontract valuations
- Retention tracked to the month it is released
- The funding position across every project, not one
A separate product, with its own pricing and its own pilot. This planner stays free either way.

Free and Pro, comparedYour forecast runs in your browser. The figures you enter, including wages, subcontractor payments and the month you run short, are never sent to Ora, and are kept only in this browser so that a refresh does not lose them. Clearing the form removes them. Like any website, Ora Tools counts anonymous page views, which carry nothing you typed.
