Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a healthy financial runway?

Most financial experts recommend 3-6 months of runway for emergencies, while freelancers, founders, or those between jobs often aim for 6-12 months.

How does partial income affect my runway?

Any income you earn during this period reduces your net monthly burn rate, which extends your runway. This calculator subtracts income from expenses automatically.

Should I include investments in my savings figure?

Only include cash or highly liquid assets you could access quickly without penalty, since illiquid investments may not be available during an emergency.
