Working Capital

WC = Current Assets − Current Liabilities

$32,000 − $11,500

= $20,500

2

Current Ratio

Ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities

$32,000 ÷ $11,500

= 2.78×

Above 2.0 = Healthy. 1.0–2.0 = Adequate. Below 1.0 = At Risk.

3

Burn Rate

Burn Rate = Monthly Expenses

$4,500/mo

= $4,500/month

4

Cash Runway

Runway = Working Capital ÷ Monthly Expenses

$20,500 ÷ $4,500

= 4.6 months

How long you can operate at current burn if no new revenue comes in.

Key insight

Your 2.78× ratio gives you 4.6 months of runway — a strong cushion for slow payments or gaps between contracts.
