The Problem

SaaS revenue isn't linear. Your runway calculator should know that.

When churn creeps up or acquisition slows down, MRR doesn't move in a straight line. The hit — or the bump, when things go well — is steepest in the first few months, then gradually flattens as the compounding plays out. Most founders don't see the shape of it until they've already hit the iceberg.

The problem is, your brain sees the first two months and draws a straight line. But the curve flattens. So you end up cutting too deep or spending too fast — reacting to a future that was never going to happen.

To model this properly, you've had two options:

The Spreadsheet from Hell

  • × Pull numbers from Baremetrics, QuickBooks, Gusto
  • × Build formulas that break when you look at them
  • × Update monthly (if you remember)
  • × Lose track of which version is current
  • × Cry softly when someone asks for a scenario

Enterprise FP&A Tools

  • × $500–$2,000/month minimum
  • × Require integrating every system
  • × Need a finance person to configure
  • × Built for 50-person companies
  • × Weeks long onboarding process

Features

Your metrics in. Your runway out.

Everything you'd need Baremetrics + QuickBooks + Gusto + a spreadsheet to calculate runway—in one chart.

SaaS Metrics Built In

Start with the inputs you actually have: ARPU, churn rate, new customers per month. Airstrip models the lag between metric changes and runway impact—the thing spreadsheets get wrong.

Payroll Modeling

Add employees with salaries, start and end dates. Hide roles to see what cuts do to runway. Play scenarios without touching your real books.

Space for All Your Expenses

Recurring costs, one-time expenses, Stripe fees, owner's draw, estimated tax payments. Everything accounted for.

Multiple Inflow Streams

MRR, annual plans, one-off capital injections, secondary recurring revenue. Model your business as it actually works, not how tools assume it does.

Instant Scenario Sharing

Every variable encodes into the URL. Send your co-founder the optimistic scenario. Send your advisor the realistic one. No attachments, no "which version is this?"

Actually Private

No backend. No login. No data harvesting. Your financial projections stay in your browser. We literally cannot see them.

I built Airstrip to calculate runway at Huntr, my B2C SaaS company. After 8 years of maintaining a spreadsheet that pulled from Baremetrics, QuickBooks, and Gusto; I finally made the leap and built the tool I actually needed.
