Understanding Your Bank Statement Summary
A bank statement is a summary of financial transactions which have occurred over a given period on a bank account held by a person or business. While banks provide these automatically, using a Bank Statement Generator and Reconciliation Tool allows you to double-check their math and understand your spending patterns more clearly.
Key Metrics Explained
Starting Balance: The amount of money in your account at the very beginning of the statement period.
Credits (Deposits): Any money that entered your account, including payroll, transfers in, and interest earned.
Debits (Withdrawals): Any money that left your account, including ATM withdrawals, bill payments, and bank fees.
Ending Balance: The mathematical result of: Starting Balance + Credits – Debits.
Net Cash Flow: If this is positive, you saved money during the month. If it is negative, you spent more than you earned.
Why Reconcile Your Statement?
Reconciliation is the process of ensuring that your internal records (your own tracking) match the bank's records. Errors can occur due to bank processing delays, hidden fees, or even unauthorized transactions. By manually calculating your ending balance, you ensure every penny is accounted for.
