📖 Overview
Use this calculator during play to combine payments collections and emergency cash raises into one end-of-turn cash check.
🧪 Example Scenarios
Use these default and higher-pressure example inputs to explore how sensitive this calculator is before using your real numbers.
| Input | Base Case | Higher Pressure Case |
|---|---|---|
| Starting Cash ($) | 920 | 828 |
| Rent And Fees To Pay ($) | 350 | 402.5 |
| Cash Collected This Turn ($) | 110 | 99 |
| Cash Raised From Sales ($) | 200 | 180 |
| Next Turn Reserve Target ($) | 250 | 287.5 |
⚙️ How It Works
Resolves one full turn’s cash movement and tells you whether your reserve target survives.
The Formula
End Cash = Starting Cash − Payments + Collections + Cash Raised
| Payments | Total rent/tax/card fees paid this turn |
| Collections | Cash collected from opponents this turn |
| Cash Raised | Emergency cash from sales/mortgages this turn |
| Reserve Target | Minimum cash you want to hold into next turn |
💡Use this as an end-of-turn check before ending your move so you are not surprised by next-turn risk.
Quick Reference
| Input | Example Value |
|---|---|
| Starting Cash ($) | 920 |

| Next Turn Reserve Target ($) | 250 |
When To Use This
- Use this tool when you need a fast decision during active planning or execution.
- Use this before committing money, time, or tradeoffs that are hard to reverse.
- Use this to compare options using the same assumptions across scenarios.
Edge Cases To Watch
- Results can be misleading if key inputs are missing, stale, or unrealistic.
- Very small or very large values may amplify rounding effects and interpretation risk.
- If assumptions change mid-decision, recalculate before acting.
Practical Tips
💡 Aggregate all turn events into one final check before passing dice.
💡 Set reserve target based on worst nearby threat squares.
💡 If reserve is short, evaluate one more safe liquidation step now.
Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Is this a prediction model?
No. It is direct arithmetic for this exact turn only.
❓ Can this replace runway calculators?
No. Use runway for multi-turn stress tests and this one for immediate settlement.
