Important:Cash Flow to Creditors is calculated as Interest Paid minus Net New Borrowing (Ending Long-Term Debt − Beginning Long-Term Debt). A positive result means more cash was paid out to creditors than was borrowed; a negative result means the business raised more in new debt than it paid in interest. This calculator uses long-term debt balances only and does not account for short-term debt, debt issuance costs, or other financing activity.

WHY USE A CASH FLOW TO CREDITORS CALCULATOR?

Cash flow to creditors is one half of Cash Flow from Assets, alongside cash flow to stockholders.
