About this tool
What is the startup runway calculator formula?
Runway in months equals cash in the bank divided by net monthly burn. Net burn equals monthly cash expenses minus monthly cash revenue.
Should I use gross burn or net burn?
Use net burn to estimate the cash-out date. Track gross burn separately so you understand the cost base before revenue offsets it.
What if monthly revenue is higher than expenses?
The current inputs do not produce a finite cash-out date. Model lower revenue or a new expense to stress-test the business.
How often should I recalculate startup runway?
Recalculate monthly and after a hire, funding event, large expense, or meaningful change in recurring revenue.
