Who this page is for
This hub is for founders and early-stage teams who are testing whether an idea is financially viable — pricing a product, estimating runway, or deciding between taking salary and reinvesting.
How these tools were chosen
The resources here were picked to cover the three jobs an early-stage founder does repeatedly: choosing tools without stack sprawl, pressure-testing the cash position, and turning plans into executable tasks. The calculators below are the ones we reach for first when modelling a new venture; they use standard formulas and show their assumptions on the page.
Where to start
- Break-Even Calculator
Find the sales volume at which the product stops losing money each month.
- Cash Flow Calculator
Map monthly inflows and outflows to see how long current cash lasts.
- Loan Calculator
Estimate monthly repayments and total interest on startup financing.
- Profit Margin Calculator
Test whether your planned pricing leaves enough margin after direct costs.
- Salary After Tax Calculator
See what a founder salary actually pays after tax and National Insurance.
How to get the most from these tools
- Model three scenarios — worst, expected, and best — and make sure the worst case is survivable before committing to fixed costs.
- Re-run the runway calculation whenever a material assumption changes: a new hire, a price change, or a delayed launch all move the break-even point.
- Results are planning estimates, not forecasts or financial advice. Validate anything that affects solvency or tax with a qualified accountant.
