Cash Runway Calculator
How many weeks until the money runs out? Enter your numbers and find out exactly where you stand. Free tool from Restaurant Exit Advisor.
What This Calculator Does
The Cash Runway Calculator takes your current cash balance, your average weekly revenue, and your average weekly expenses, and tells you how many weeks of operating runway you have left. It also shows you your weekly burn rate -- the net cash you are losing each week.
Industry Benchmarks
- 12+ weeks: Healthy runway. Time to make strategic decisions without pressure.
- 8-12 weeks: Caution zone. Start conversations with your landlord and key vendors now.
- 4-8 weeks: Urgent. Decisions need to happen this week, not next month.
- Under 4 weeks: Crisis. Every day of delay costs options.
What to Do With Your Number
If you have less than 8 weeks of runway, the most important thing you can do is stop the bleeding before you run out of options. That means talking to your landlord before you miss rent, not after. It means understanding your personal guarantee exposure. It means knowing what it would actually cost to close now versus in 60 days.
