# Cash, burn and runway dashboard

A month-end cash, net burn and runway dashboard for startups and SaaS companies. Below: the live dashboard, the prompt to make yours, and how to keep it current.

The Dashfridge team · Updated November 10, 2026

 Live sample with made-up numbers · runs locked down, like every dashboard on Dashfridge

## Who it's for

Startup CFOs, founders and fractional CFOs reporting to a board.

## What's in it

* Cash in the bank and months of runway
* Net burn (3-month average) and gross burn
* Burn multiple
* Cash and net burn over the last 12 months

## The prompt

Works in Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot. Fill in the \[brackets\], then paste your data under it.

Copy this prompt

Build a cash, burn and runway dashboard from the monthly numbers below.
- Tiles: month-end cash, net burn this month, average net burn (last 3 months), months of runway (cash ÷ average net burn).
- Chart: month-end cash and net burn for the last 12 months.
- One sentence under the chart explaining what changed this month.

My data:
[paste month, ending cash, cash in, cash out for 12 months]

Build it as ONE self-contained HTML file:
- Put all the data inside the file. No API calls, no fetch, no external data.
- Use plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript (inline SVG for charts is fine). If you need a chart library, load it from cdn.jsdelivr.net.
- Add a "data as of" date under the title.
- Make it readable on a laptop and print cleanly to one page if possible.

## Data you need

* Month-end cash balances
* Monthly cash in and cash out (or net burn) for 12 months

## Make it and share it

1. **Gather the numbers** Export or copy: Month-end cash balances; Monthly cash in and cash out (or net burn) for 12 months.
2. **Paste the prompt** Copy the prompt into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot, fill in the brackets and paste your data under it.
3. **Check it** Tie the totals back to your source reports before anyone else sees it.
4. **Put it on the fridge** Upload the HTML file to Dashfridge, or connect your AI and say "put this on the fridge". Publish it and invite your team.

## Keep it current

**How often:** Monthly, after the close. Add it to the board pack. Update the same dashboard each time instead of sending a new file, so your team keeps one link and every past version is kept. Your AI can do the refresh for you: see [dashboards that update every week](https://dashfridge.com/guides/scheduled-refresh).

## Common questions

**How do you calculate runway?**

Cash on hand divided by average monthly net burn (cash out minus cash in). Many teams use a 3-month average so one unusual month doesn't swing the number.
