Runway calculator

Enter the cash you have set aside for your products, plus what they currently earn and cost per month. All figures are in USD and stay in your browser. Refreshing the page resets the inputs.

This projection treats your cash as the balance at the start of the current UTC month. The starting month is fixed when this page opens, using UTC. Each row applies a full month of the entered revenue and costs. It does not prorate the current month or account for payment dates within a month.

What this calculation means

Runway here means the cash you set aside divided by your net monthly burn—monthly costs minus monthly revenue. It assumes both figures stay exactly as entered. This is a projection under fixed assumptions, not a prediction of actual cash balances. It does not connect to your bank or account for costs you have not entered. It is not accounting, tax, or financial advice.
