Planner
Revenue modeling, budget tracking, and hiring plans — all connected to your runway.
The problem
Revenue projections live in one spreadsheet, budgets in another, and hiring plans in a third. None of them talk to each other, and none of them connect to your runway number. When you model a hire, you have to manually recalculate the budget impact and runway effect.
The solution
The Planner combines revenue modeling, budget management, and hiring plans in one connected system. Model MRR growth and see how it affects runway. Set budgets and track variance against actuals. Plan hires and see the exact runway cost — all in three tabs that share the same underlying data.
Revenue Model & MRR Projections
Set your base MRR, growth rate, and churn assumptions. RunwayCal projects your MRR forward month-by-month and shows how revenue growth impacts runway. The MRR waterfall breaks down new, expansion, contraction, and churned revenue.
Forecast vs Actual Accuracy
Once you have actuals from monthly snapshots, the Forecast vs Actual chart shows how your revenue projections compared to reality — with a rolling accuracy score. See where your assumptions were off and calibrate future models.
Budget vs Actual with Variance Analysis
Create budgets, then track actuals against them. The variance view shows every line item with severity-colored indicators (green/yellow/red), favorability flags, and percentage deviations. Add founder notes to explain variances. Drill down into individual transactions behind any variance.
Hiring Plan & Runway Impact
Plan future hires with start dates and see the runway impact immediately. The Hiring Impact card shows current vs adjusted runway, monthly burn increase, 12-month cash impact, and a stacked burn trajectory chart with planned hires factored in.
How it works
Set revenue assumptions
Define your base MRR, expected growth rate, and churn rate in the Revenue tab.

Plan your hires
Add planned team members with expected start dates and salaries in the Hiring tab.
See the connected impact
Revenue projections, budget variances, and hiring costs all flow into your runway calculation automatically.
