What this means
Runway looks workable
Your cash position is not below the range we use for general small business
After your reserve holdback and the share of receivables you expect to collect soon, your usable cash buffer is about $48,600. At your current margin of 42% and a same-month cash collection rate of 85%, you need about $82,633 in monthly revenue to stop using cash.
If burn stays at this level, your cash buffer lasts about 3.1 months.

Calculator guide
How to use this cash runway calculator
This calculator shows how long your usable cash buffer lasts if your current burn rate keeps going. It also shows the revenue needed to stop using that buffer.
Why runway matters
A business can look busy and still have weak cash. Runway tells you how much time you have before that weakness becomes urgent.
This version goes further than a simple bank-balance check. It also looks at how much of your receivables are really collectible soon and how much monthly revenue actually turns into cash in time.
How to improve runway
You can improve runway by lifting gross profit, collecting money faster, lowering the cash you must hold back, cutting fixed cost, or slowing owner draw.
It is usually better to act early than wait until the cash position feels painful.
