Homepage - Net cash movement line overlay for Cash In & Out widget

Add a net cash movement line (cash in minus cash out) overlaid on the Cash In & Out widget.

This would let business owners instantly see whether cash is actually building or eroding over time, without running reports or exporting data.

A net cash overlay (or toggle) would make the dashboard far more useful for real-world cashflow decision-making.

Hi team, with Xero Analytics you'll be able to use the Cash flow manager to get useful predictions of your businesses financial overview, cash in and cash out.

Right now, we're in the process of also developing a widget that can surface some of this information to you directly from the homepage. I'll return to share once this is live. 🙂

Hi Regan, we can see how having a net cash movement line would be a real time-saver. While the bars for money coming in and going out give a good sense of activity, having that “bottom line” plotted as a trend would make it much easier to see your actual cash flow health at a glance.

At the moment, the Cash In and Out widget already shows cash in, cash out, and the difference, where a cash in net shows as a positive difference and vice versa. For a more detailed view, head to Short-term Cash Flow ( https://central.xero.com/s/article/STCF-Cash-Predictions-AU#ShorttermcashflowinXeroAnalyticsPlus ) under the Reporting menu to explore trends and movements beyond the main dashboard.

I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can see how many in the community would find a net cash line useful. If this is something that would make your day-to-day easier, add your vote or share your experience—hearing from the community really helps shape future improvements!

The previous Xero Homepage version had a version of this on the homepage, for each bank account, plotting the cash/bank balance position, showing tracking over time.
The equivalent bank account widgets just have balances in numbers, deleting the graph.
The new widgets & visual side-by-side bar graphs of 'cash in, cash out' or the Short-term Cash flow report, with the over/under bars are not as helpful for a clear overall picture.
Side-by side bars or stacked over/under bars still require an amount of mental gymnastics (or actual calculation or data extract) to arrive at an overall +/- position.

Managing cash flow is crucial for business. I really like your cash flow manager. I would like to have a cash flow widget on the top of my homepage, so I always know how the next 30/60d will look like.
