Currency:

Starting cash (in account): (USD)

All cash you can actually use (bank accounts, PayPal, etc.) at the start of the runway.

How do you want to enter your costs?

Total monthly burn (one amount)

Itemized monthly costs

Use total monthly burn if you already know how much you spend each month.
Use itemized costs if you want the calculator to sum up your categories.

Total monthly burn:

Approximate total cash going out per month (salaries, rent, tools, ads, etc.). Taxes and fees can be included if you like.

Salaries / founder pay

Monthly salaries for founders and employees (after employer costs).

Office / rent

Coworking space, office rent or home office allowance.

Software / SaaS

Subscriptions like hosting, CRM, analytics, cloud, design tools and similar.

Marketing

Ads, influencers, content production and other growth activities.

Contractors / freelancers

External developers, designers, consultants and similar.

Other costs

Everything else: travel, legal, accounting, small tools, etc.

Total monthly burn (auto):

Sum of all the categories above. This is the burn used for the calculations.

Monthly revenue (MRR):

Current predictable monthly income (subscriptions, retainers, contracts). Leave at 0 if you are pre-revenue.

Monthly growth assumptions (advanced):

Leave growth fields empty or 0 to simulate a fixed burn and revenue.

Revenue growth (%)

Expected average percentage increase in revenue per month. Example: 5 means revenue grows 5% every month.

Burn growth (%)

Expected average percentage change in monthly burn. Positive values = costs increase (hiring, more marketing), negative = you are cutting costs.

Target runway (months):

Optional. If you enter a value (e.g. 12), the calculator estimates how much funding you need to reach that runway.
