About This Tool
Free startup cost calculator online — list your one-time launch costs (equipment, incorporation, website, initial inventory) and recurring monthly costs (rent, software, salaries, marketing), and instantly see your total startup cost, monthly burn rate, and how many months your available funding will last at that burn rate. Founders use this before launch to sanity-check whether their savings or raised funding cover a realistic runway, and to see which cost categories dominate the budget. Add or remove line items freely — everything recalculates live as you type, entirely in your browser.
