Estimate startup costs: sum one-time and monthly costs to see total launch cost, runway and break-even months.
Enter values above and click Calculate — results will appear here with the formula explained.
Total launch cost is one-time purchases (equipment, legal, branding) plus monthly burn (rent, salaries, software) times months you want to fund before profitability. If revenue is below monthly costs, burn continues.
Break-even after launch is one-time costs divided by monthly profit (revenue - monthly costs). If monthly profit is zero or negative, break-even is never without changes.
This sums one-time CapEx plus burn times months. Runway is capital divided by monthly burn. Break-even after launch is CapEx divided by monthly contribution margin. For YMYL business planning, add 20% contingency and use SCORE or SBA business plan template with local market validation, not just this estimate.
