Startup Runway Calculator Template

Startup Project · startupproject.org Free Beginner

A single-purpose calculator that answers the one question that matters when things get tight: how many months of cash do I actually have left, computed properly off trailing burn, not a guess.

  • Runway = current cash ÷ trailing average net monthly burn.
  • Recalculate monthly - burn rate shifts fast as ad spend and inventory purchases move.
  • Use it to set a hard trigger point (e.g. 6 months left) for starting a raise or debt conversation.

The question it answers

  1. How do I calculate my cash runway, and how do I know when I need to raise or borrow?
