Startup Runway Calculator
Calculate how many months your startup can survive based on cash on hand and monthly burn rate.
Startup Runway is how long your money will last at the current spend rate:
Months of Runway = Cash on Hand / Monthly Burn Rate
Zero-Cash Date = Today + Months of Runway
Burn rate is your net monthly cash outflow (expenses minus revenue):
Net Burn = Monthly Expenses - Monthly Revenue
Benchmark runway targets:
- Pre-seed: 12–18 months
- Seed stage: 18–24 months
- Series A+: 18–24 months
- Start fundraising when you have 6–9 months left
Tip: If you have revenue, subtract it from expenses to get your net burn rate before entering it here.
