Business Startup Cost Calculator

Most businesses do not fail because the idea was bad. They run out of money before it works.

Usually because nobody added up the monthly costs properly, or launched with three weeks of runway and a lot of optimism.

This tells you what starting actually costs, and whether you can afford to yet.

What it works out for you

• One off setup costs, by category
• Monthly running costs, all of them
• Cash needed to launch plus three months of runway
• Your runway in months, colour coded
• Sales per month needed just to break even

Why it matters

Launch with three months of runway minimum. Sales take time to compound, ads take time to learn, and everything takes longer than you think. Starting on empty means making desperate decisions.

The honest bit

If this tells you that you cannot afford to start yet, that is not bad news. That is the cheapest lesson you will ever get.
