Cash flow sign convention

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The cash flow sign convention is that money you pay out has a minus sign, while money you take in has a plus sign (or no sign).

  • Most financial calculators (and spreadsheets) follow the Cash Flow Sign Convention. This is simply a way of keeping the direction of the cash flow straight. Cash inflows are entered as positive numbers and cash outflows are entered as negative numbers. [1]
