Burn rate and runway

Your runway, recalculated every day, with a warning before it matters

Morgonplex tracks gross burn, net burn and runway continuously, and tells you when the trend changes, not when the balance gets low.

How it is calculated

Three numbers, defined plainly

No black box. These are the definitions the engine uses, and you can see the inputs behind every figure.

Gross burn

Total cash going out in a month: payroll, vendors, rent, taxes and loan repayments. Transfers between your own accounts are excluded.

Net burn

Gross burn minus cash collected. Shown as a three-month rolling average by default, so one large invoice does not distort the picture.

Runway

Months until projected cash reaches zero, using the forward forecast rather than simple division, so rising costs and seasonal dips are counted.

Why not cash divided by burn? Simple division assumes this month repeats forever. If burn is drifting up 2% a month, simple runway overstates your time by weeks. Morgonplex uses the projected curve.
Alert thresholds

Decide what counts as urgent, once

Set thresholds that match your situation. A seed-stage company raising in six months cares about different lines than a profitable business watching working capital.

  • Runway below a set number of months
  • Cash-out date moves earlier by more than a set number of weeks
  • Net burn rises above a monthly ceiling
  • A single category grows faster than a set percentage
  • Minimum cash balance on any projected day

Healthy, approaching, and cash-out

The same three states appear across every chart, alert and report, so you can read your position at a glance.

Healthy

Above your threshold

Runway comfortably above the level you set. Weekly digest only.

Approaching

Inside the warning window

Runway within your warning window. Alerts sent, drivers highlighted, scenarios suggested.

Cash-out

Projected zero balance

The date where the projection crosses zero. Used sparingly, and only when it genuinely applies.

Know the moment your runway moves

Set your thresholds once. Morgonplex watches every transaction and tells you when the trend changes.
