When uncertainty hits, cash flow is the heartbeat of your business and it can change faster than you think. We’ve built this quick stress test so you can see, in real time, how a dip in revenue affects your monthly burn and your survival runway. No spreadsheets. No guesswork. Just a clear picture of how much breathing room you really have.
💧 Cash Flow Stress Test
Slide the knob to simulate a revenue drop and instantly see your monthly burn and runway. Adjust the inputs to match your business. Results are estimates for planning only.
- Revenue drop: Tests downside scenarios fast.
- Variable costs %: Costs that scale with sales.
- Fixed costs: Rent, salaries, software, etc.
- Cash on hand: Determines runway months.
Assumes variable costs scale linearly with revenue and fixed costs remain constant. Positive monthly cash flow yields “no burn / unlimited runway.”
We’ve used this exact exercise in our own planning, and it’s opened our eyes more than once. Seeing the numbers shift as you move that slider makes the risk and the opportunity, tangible. We know how easy it is to assume “we’ll be fine” until the bank balance starts shrinking faster than expected. That’s why we’ll keep refining tools like this: so we can all react sooner, plan smarter, and stay ahead of whatever’s coming next.
