Understand runway, burn rate and break-even

Open a budget and click Dashboard. It sums up everything you entered.

The key figures

• Status: a one-line summary, for example "Growing: on your current path you are never going to run out of money".
• Monthly burn rate: your average monthly expenses.
• Monthly earn rate: your average monthly revenue.
• Break-even: whether and when your revenue covers your expenses, for example "Reached · Sep 2026".
• Runway: how long your cash lasts at the current burn. "Never-ending" means the cash balance never runs out within the budget.
• Total capital, Total revenue, Total expenses and Net income for the whole budget period.

Hover the small ⓘ icons for a short explanation of each figure.

If runway looks wrong

• Check that capital (your savings, loans, investment) is entered on the Capital tab. Without it, you start from zero cash.
• Check start and end dates on each item. An item outside the budget period doesn't count.
• Check the Period column. A yearly cost entered as monthly is 12 times too high.

In your plan
