For founders

Runway, burn, revenue and a round are the same notepad math as a budget. $2.4M / $180k per month is 13.33 months, and $5M at $20M pre is the post-money valuation with the dilution beside it.

Omacus is a free notepad calculator for Linux, macOS and Windows. The numbers on this page are an example for a fictional company, so you can see the shape of the sheet and change any line.

Runway and burn

A pile of cash divided by a monthly burn is months of runway. Write the rate on the right, with per month or /month:

You typeOmacus shows
$2.4M / $180k per month13.33 months
$2.4M / $180k/month13.33 months
cash = $2,400,000$2,400,000
burn = $180k per month$180,000 / month
cash / burn13.33 months

The same monthly spend over a year is in years. annually names a yearly rate on its own:

You typeOmacus shows
$180k per month in years$2,160,000 / year
$180k annually$180,000 / year
$180k/yr$180,000 / yr

The date the cash runs out is today plus those months. Runway here is 13.33 months, so the nearest month is 13:

MRR and ARR

MRR is per month and ARR is per year, so you can say the conversion the way you'd say it in a conversation. Naming the monthly figure and multiplying by 12 is the same answer, kept in a variable:

You typeOmacus shows
$42k MRR$42,000 / month
$42k MRR in ARR$504,000 / year
mrr = $42k$42,000
arr = mrr * 12$504,000
growth = 8%8%
mrr + growth$45,360

What a hire costs

A loaded cost is the salary plus the extra on top (benefits, tax, equipment), then split across the year. 1.25 here is an example load, not a rule:

You typeOmacus shows
salary = $160k$160,000
loaded = salary * 1.25$200,000
loaded / 12$16,666.67

A round

at … pre adds the raise to the pre-money valuation. The answer is the post-money figure, with the dilution of that round after it. The value itself is the post-money sum, so you can keep using it:

You typeOmacus shows
$5M at $20M pre$25,000,000 post, 20%
$5M at a $20M pre-money$25,000,000 post, 20%
round = $5M at $20M pre$25,000,000 post, 20%
round / 2$12,500,000

When you already know the post-money valuation, at … post is just the dilution. Writing the sum and the percentage yourself works the same way:

You typeOmacus shows
$5M at $25M post20%
$5M post at $25M20%
raise = $5M$5,000,000
pre = $20M$20,000,000
post = raise + pre$25,000,000
raise / post in %20%

Questions

Why does $2.4M / $180k per month give months?

Because the thing on the right is a rate: $180k each month. Dividing cash by that rate is how many months the cash covers, 13.33. The same line with the rate stored first, cash / burn, is the same answer.

What does $5M at $20M pre mean?

A $5,000,000 raise on a $20,000,000 pre-money valuation. Omacus shows the post-money valuation, $25,000,000, and the dilution, 20%.

How do I turn MRR into ARR?

Write $42k MRR in ARR, or set mrr = $42k and then arr = mrr * 12. Both give $504,000 a year.

Are these a real company's numbers?

No. Cash, burn, salary and the round are an example, so the sheet has something to calculate.
