Cash has already been measured after any opening payments you have made. This constant-flow illustration is not a monthly forecast: it ignores timing within a month, changing sales, seasonality and exceptional payments unless reflected in your inputs.
Include debt service, taxes, inventory purchases and necessary capital spending in payments when the question is how long the bank balance will last. A non-burning example has no finite runway under these assumptions; it does not prove long-term solvency.
