Free Cash Flow Calculator
Free Cash Flow (FCF) is a metric that represents the cash a company generates after accounting for cash outflows to support operations and capital expenditures. It is the cash available to all investors (both debt and equity holders) after all investments necessary to maintain or expand the asset base have been made. FCF is a measure of a company's financial performance and is often used to assess a company's ability to generate cash, pay dividends, and reduce debt.
function calculateFCF() {
var netIncome = parseFloat(document.getElementById("netIncome").value);
var depreciation = parseFloat(document.getElementById("depreciation").value);
var changeInWorkingCapital = parseFloat(document.getElementById("changeInWorkingCapital").value);
var capitalExpenditures = parseFloat(document.getElementById("capitalExpenditures").value);
var resultDiv = document.getElementById("result");
resultDiv.innerHTML = ""; // Clear previous results
if (isNaN(netIncome) || isNaN(depreciation) || isNaN(changeInWorkingCapital) || isNaN(capitalExpenditures)) {
resultDiv.innerHTML = "Please enter valid numbers for all fields.";
return;
}
// Free Cash Flow = Net Income + Depreciation & Amortization – Change in Working Capital – Capital Expenditures
var freeCashFlow = netIncome + depreciation – changeInWorkingCapital – capitalExpenditures;
resultDiv.innerHTML = "Your calculated Free Cash Flow is:
$" + freeCashFlow.toLocaleString() + "";
