Work out net monthly burn and runway, then add an expected grant to see when it would arrive relative to your zero-cash month. Nothing leaves your browser.
Frequently asked questions
What is burn rate?
Net burn is what you spend each month minus what comes in. Runway is cash on hand divided by net burn.
Why does grant timing matter?
Many grants pay after you spend (reimbursement) or in milestones. If the money arrives after your cash runs out, it does not extend your runway.
