Calculations

Calculations in Money Eva are evaluated at each whole-year point, allowing you to define intermediate results until deriving the final evaluation of your scenario. These calculations help you create reusable variables and calculate cash values for your scenario.

Intermediate Calculations

1. Define Variable (Numerical)

  • Description: A numerical calculation that produces a single value, based on expressions or formulas.
  • Use Case: Useful for defining constants, derived values, or intermediate calculations needed for further steps in the scenario.
  • Output: Produces a Numerical variable symbol, representing the calculated value at each whole-year point.

2. Define Variable (Cash Flow)

  • Description: A calculation that combines and manipulates cash flows using expressions. This allows you to:
    • Add (+) one cash flow to another.
    • Subtract (-) one cash flow from another.
    • Scale a cash flow up or down by multiplying (*) or dividing (/) it by a factor.
  • Use Case: Ideal for creating complex cash flow models, such as net cash flow, adjusted income, or cash flow scaling over time.
  • Output: Produces a Cash Flow variable symbol, representing the combined or transformed cash flows evaluated at each whole-year point.

Final Calculation

Cash Value

  • Description: A numerical calculation representing the ultimate result of the scenario at each whole-year point. All preceding variable symbols, including those from calculations and cash flows, are available for use in defining this final value.

  • Output: Produces the final numerical result, evaluated at each whole-year interval.

These calculation types, combined with inputs and Year 0 decisions/expectations, give you the flexibility to craft detailed, dynamic scenarios that evolve over time. By leveraging intermediate calculations and final cash values, you can model a wide range of financial situations with accuracy and insight.
