slutkassabehållning

Slutkassabehållning is a Swedish term that translates to "final cash balance" or "ending cash balance." It refers to the total amount of money a business or individual has in their accounts at the end of a specific accounting period. This period could be a day, week, month, quarter, or year.

The slutkassabehållning is a crucial metric for understanding an entity's liquidity and financial health. It represents the readily available funds that can be used to meet immediate obligations, such as paying salaries, suppliers, or other expenses. A positive slutkassabehållning indicates that there are sufficient funds, while a negative one suggests a potential cash shortfall.

Calculating the slutkassabehållning typically involves summing up all cash and cash equivalents held across various accounts, including checking accounts, savings accounts, and petty cash. It is derived by taking the opening cash balance for the period and adding all cash inflows (receipts) and subtracting all cash outflows (payments) that occurred during that period. This figure is a fundamental component of cash flow statements and is closely monitored by financial managers and analysts.
