Further information

Help startup founders and business owners understand their cash runway and monthly burn rate by projecting future cash balances based on revenue, expenses, growth and inflation assumptions. The objective is to provide a simple view of how long available cash may support the business and when additional funding may be required.

Best suited for startups and small businesses that want to estimate cash runway using current cash, monthly revenue, revenue growth, variable expenses, fixed expenses, expense growth and inflation assumptions. It is particularly useful for early-stage businesses, founder-led companies, fundraising preparation, monthly financial planning and monitoring cash consumption.

Less suitable for businesses requiring a detailed daily or weekly cash flow forecast, complex debt schedules, multiple funding rounds, detailed working capital modelling or highly complex financial scenarios. The calculator provides a monthly runway projection based on user-provided assumptions and should not be treated as a complete financial model or a substitute for detailed financial planning.
