Investopedia explains 'Incremental Cash Flow'

There are several components that must be identified when looking at incremental cash flows:  the initial outlay, cash flows from taking on the project, terminal cost or value and the scale and timing of the project. A positive incremental cash flow is a good indication that an organization should spend some time and money investing in the project.
