Frequently Asked Questions
What is cash runway in business finance?
Cash runway is the number of months a business can survive before running out of money, calculated by dividing the current cash balance by the net monthly burn rate (total cash outgoing minus cash incoming).
How does the tool handle variable billing cycles?
The tool normalizes billing intervals into monthly equivalents (e.g., annual subscriptions are divided by 12, quarterly subscriptions by 3) to create a consistent monthly cash flow projection.
What is the auto-renewal warning window?
Most enterprise software agreements require cancellation notices 30, 60, or 90 days before the renewal date. The calculator highlights these critical cancellation windows alongside the renewal dates.
