Burn Rate & Runway Calculator
Updated
Investors and lenders ask the same first question: how long do you have? Enter your cash in bank, monthly revenue and monthly expenses — this calculator returns gross burn, net burn, runway in months, and plots the projected cash balance until zero on a live chart.
How it works
- Step 1
Add your cash position
Enter the current bank balance you can draw on.
- Step 2
Enter monthly P&L
Add expected monthly revenue and monthly operating expenses.
- Step 3
Read the runway
Get gross burn, net burn, months of runway and a projected cash-out date.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between gross burn and net burn?
- Gross burn is total cash going out each month. Net burn subtracts monthly revenue from that, so it is the true rate at which cash is disappearing from the bank.
- What if we are cash-flow positive?
- Then net burn is zero or negative and runway is effectively unlimited. The calculator flags this and shows the projected balance rising instead of falling.
- Does runway include a future raise?
- No — this is the cash-on-hand projection only. Model new funding separately once you know the raise you want to plan for.
