Startup Runway Calculator Spreadsheet
Know exactly when your money runs out -- and what to do about it. A complete financial toolkit that gives you the clarity a fractional CFO provides, for a one-time $39.
Why Every Startup Founder Needs a Runway Calculator
The number one reason startups die is not bad products or weak teams. It is running out of money without seeing it coming. A runway calculator tells you exactly how many months of cash you have left, based on your actual burn rate and revenue trajectory.
Most founders track this in their heads or on the back of a napkin. That works until you are in an investor meeting and someone asks: "What is your monthly burn rate? What is your runway at current spend? When do you reach break-even?"
Hiring a fractional CFO to build these models costs $2,000 to $5,000 per month. Free spreadsheet templates online are either too basic (just a burn rate formula) or too complex (enterprise-grade models that take days to set up).
This financial command center hits the sweet spot: sophisticated enough for investor meetings, simple enough for a non-finance founder to use in 30 minutes.

Nine interconnected financial tools that give you complete visibility into your startup's financial health:
Core Financial Models

Investor-Ready Materials
All formulas are pre-built. Enter your numbers and everything calculates automatically. Works in both Excel and Google Sheets.
