The Runway Calculator · Notice Period by Barbie C

Your numbers

Be honest. The calculator only works if you don't flatter yourself. All in one currency — use whatever you think in.

Monthly spend after the leapWhat life costs once you've moved / left. Bali solo baseline: $1,200–2,500.

Savings you'd bet on thisLiquid only. Not your pension, not your parents' money.

What you save per month, todayWhile still employed. This sets your leap date.

One-off costs of the leapMove, visa, deposits, setup, launch. When in doubt, add 30%.

Safety bufferMonths you could survive at zero income before the business must feed you. I used 6. Under 6 is a gamble, not a plan.

9 months: the sane middle. Enough room for the slow start nobody plans for.

Email gets you the number plus the one-page next move for whatever it turns out to be — the move for "leap now" is different from "31 months out".

No spam. I write when I have something worth your time, and your numbers stay between us.
