Calculate runway
How This Is Calculated
Runway (in months) = usable cash balance ÷ net monthly burn (cash outflow minus inflow) — usable cash typically excludes any amount earmarked for one-off commitments or a safety buffer you want to preserve, giving a more conservative and realistic runway figure than gross cash balance alone.

Evidence and verification checklist
- Confirm the current, in-force text governing Startup Cash Runway and Burn Calculator on the official source linked above - the summary on this page is an implementation aid, not a substitute for it.
- Record the exact event/transaction date, since the applicable version of the law, form or threshold can change between the date of the underlying event and today.
- Preserve the primary documents (notices, applications, orders, acknowledgements) that would let a reviewer reconstruct how the facts were classified and what was actually done.
- Check for a State-specific rule, later amendment or binding judicial decision that may modify how this applies on your facts.
Before relying on this page
This page is a structured implementation summary, not the operative legal text. Portal or process acceptance of a filing does not by itself establish legal compliance - the underlying classification, authority, evidence and timeline still have to be independently correct. Where the facts are contested, high-value, or time-barred if delayed, verify the current position with the official source and, where appropriate, a qualified professional before acting.
