Burn rate and runway calculator
Cash in the bank, what goes out each month, what comes in, and how fast it is growing. Get the month the money runs out, or the month you break even.
Cash, costs and revenue
Investors ask for runway in months and the date it ends. Under six months, start the next raise or the cuts now; a round takes three to six months to close. Growth compounds monthly here, which is optimistic if revenue is lumpy.

Cash is what is in the bank today. Expenses and revenue are monthly cash amounts, not accruals: what actually leaves and arrives. If revenue is growing, enter the monthly growth rate and the calculator projects month by month; when growth outruns burn before the cash is gone, it reports the break-even month instead of a run-out date.
Net burn is expenses minus revenue. Gross burn, expenses alone, is what a lender or investor asks for alongside it.
Reading the result
Investors want runway as a number of months and a date. Under six months is a warning: a funding round takes three to six months to close, so the raise or the cost cuts have to start now. Above eighteen months, the question flips to whether you are spending fast enough to grow.
The projection compounds growth every month, which is optimistic if revenue arrives in lumps. Rerun it monthly from real figures rather than trusting one forecast.
