Net Float

Definition: Net float is the combination of the mail float, processing float, and availability float, and so represents the full duration of all types of check payment float. You can calculate the aggregate amount of net float in a bank account related to both outgoing and incoming cash flows by subtracting paid funds not yet deducted from the account from funds deposited but not yet cleared.
