Fix Cash • Runway & Payback (Monthly)
Fix Cash

Runway & Payback Calculator

Model your 48–72h cash plan: AR sprint, vendor defers, and a temporary spend freeze. We aim for ≤30-day payback and to push runway ≥0.5 months.

Your current net cash outflow per month.
One-time relief from negotiated deferrals.
Spend freeze / defers that reduce monthly burn.

Base runway
= Cash on hand ÷ Monthly burn
Boosted runway
= (Cash + AR30 + Defers30) ÷ (Monthly burn − Monthly cuts)
Runway added
Cash in next 30 days
AR30 + Defers30
Payback (days)
= Fee ÷ (AR30 + Monthly cuts ÷ 4) × 30
Fee as % of OPEX
Monthly fee share of monthly OPEX
PASS/FAIL
Rules: Payback ≤ target & Fee ≤ cap% of OPEX & Boosted runway ≥ target.
Summary (copy)
Tip: If payback exceeds your target, we stage scope (smaller fee now, next step after collections land).

Fix Cash — ROI Calculator

Editable. Use your actual quoted fee.
E.g., AR collected now + vendor deferrals + temporary cuts this week.
Ongoing weekly burn reduction or new net cash from fixes.
Used to estimate extra runway days from the one-time cash.

Payback (days)

ROI in 30 days

ROI in 90 days

Payback ≤ 7 days: — Payback ≤ 30 days: — Instant runway added: —

How it works: One-time cash reduces payback immediately. Any remaining cost is paid back by weekly improvement (pro-rated per day). ROI = (value gained − cost) ÷ cost. Runway = one-time cash ÷ (weekly burn/7).
