Market size, startup costs, break-even, pricing, margins, customer cost, payroll, insurance, funding and the hard growth calls — test every idea against honest maths before you spend real money on it. The full detailed report costs less than a coffee: $2.95.
Runway is the number founders quote without checking and die without watching: cash on hand divided by monthly burn, expressed in months. It is the clock every early business runs on, because most businesses that die do so with a working product and a viable idea — simply no cash left to reach the turning point. This calculator returns your runway in months from two honest inputs, then tells you plainly what that number means: healthy, loud, or an emergency. Three months of runway is not a problem to review monthly; it is a decision deadline, and this tool is designed to make you feel the difference.
Calculate how many months your cash lasts at your current burn — the clock every early business runs on, and the number to check before any big spend.
Every cost including rent, wages, software, marketing and your own draw, minus any recurring revenue. Founders who forget their own wage are fooling the spreadsheet — the real burn is higher than the comfortable one.
Six months is the conventional floor for comfort; below three is an emergency. The three levers are cut costs, raise revenue and raise capital — in that order of how much control you have.
Monthly, on the same day, like a bill. The trend matters more than any single number — a runway that shrinks every month is a strategy problem, not a surprise.
Every tool answers instantly from our own knowledge base and calculators — no AI cost, no waiting, no account. Want the deeper, personalised version? Each has a $2.95 full report.
