How Excess Cashflow Prioritisation Works
Each year, your plan may generate extra cashflow – money left over after covering all planned expenses and Taxes.
The Excess Cashflow Prioritisation feature allows you to decide exactly how this surplus should be used.
1. Set Your Priorities
You can create a ranked list of priorities for where surplus cash should go. These can include:
Cash accounts – boost your savings or emergency fund.
Assets – invest in other assets like managed funds or property.
Liabilities – pay down non-tax-deductible debts (e.g. personal loans, credit cards, or home loans).
Each priority can be expressed as either:
A percentage of the available surplus, or
A fixed dollar amount (with an optional balance cap).
2. What Happens to Any Leftover
If there’s still surplus after following your priorities, you choose one of two options:
Save the rest – any remaining cash will be added to a nominated cash account.
Spend the rest – any remaining cash is assumed to be spent and not saved or invested.
