9-to-5 Exit Strategy Runway Calculator
Calculate exactly when it's safe to quit your day job
The 9-to-5 Exit Strategy Runway Calculator is an interactive financial planning tool built specifically for creators, freelancers, and aspiring entrepreneurs who want absolute clarity before leaving corporate life. Most standard budget tools only track your current expenses. This calculator maps out the complex "runway gap"—helping you visualize exactly how your current savings, baseline living costs, and fluctuating side-hustle growth interact over time.
Hey Product Hunt community! 👋
I built the 9-to-5 Exit Strategy Runway Calculator out of pure necessity. I noticed that while there are a million standard budgeting spreadsheets out there, almost none of them properly account for the "runway gap"—the exact point where your day-job income stops, your savings begin to deplete, and your side-hustle revenue starts to scale up.
Guessing that transition timeline is incredibly stressful, so I wanted to build a visual, interactive tool that maps out your exact cash runway velocity against baseline living expenses.
It is completely free (Pay-What-You-Want starting at $0) on Gumroad because right now, my main goal is just getting real feedback from this incredible community.
I’d love to know: Does the math make sense for your current setup? What other financial metrics should I add to the next version?
Thank you so much for checking it out! 🙏
