Free Startup Funding Calculator

Quick answer

A startup funding calculator estimates how much capital you may need by comparing current cash with the burn required to reach a target runway. The result is a planning scenario, not a recommendation for how much equity to sell.

Formula

Base funding need = monthly net burn × target runway − current cash. Optional planning buffer can be applied on top.

Example

$60,000 monthly net burn × 18 months = .08M of planned burn. With 00,000 cash on hand, the base funding need is about $980,000 before any additional buffer.

How to interpret it

Run downside cases for slower revenue growth, delayed hiring, or higher burn. The right raise size also depends on dilution, milestone timing, fundraising conditions, and financing alternatives.
