What is Startup Burn Rate Calculator?

Burn rate is the speed at which a startup spends its cash reserves before becoming profitable. Knowing your runway — how many months of cash you have left — is the most critical piece of information for any early-stage founder navigating toward profitability.

How to Use This Tool

1. Enter your current total cash balance. 2. Input your average monthly operating expenses. 3. Enter any monthly revenue you are already generating. 4. Calculate your net burn and runway in months.

💡 Pro Tip: Always plan your fundraise or profitability push to complete at least 3 months before your runway expires. Investors and lenders can smell desperation — entering a raise with 12+ months of runway gives you negotiating power. Calculate yours now!
