Quick Calculator 2
Startup Runway Calculator
Estimate how many months of runway your startup has left based on cash, burn, planned hires and expected revenue movement.
This is a practical operating calculator, not a financing plan. Use realistic numbers, not the optimistic version from the deck.
Cash Position
Use actual available cash, not committed but unsigned capital.
Net burn means monthly cash outflow after existing revenue is already accounted for.
Planned Changes
Enter the number of new people you expect to add before the next raise.
Use fully loaded monthly cost, not just salary.
Include software, marketing, legal, office or product spend you expect to add.
Use a positive number if revenue is expected to reduce burn. Use 0 if uncertain.
Scenario
This smooths the annual hiring effect into the burn calculation.
This shows when you should realistically start fundraising, not when cash hits zero.
