Job Search Runway Calculator

The Job Search Runway Calculator tells you how many months your current cash position can fund a focused job search before you have to take whatever offer is in front of you. You enter your liquid savings, any severance you have coming, your monthly essential expenses, your weekly unemployment benefit, the number of weeks you have left on it, and any income a partner is bringing in. The calculator combines all of those into a runway figure and a month-by-month cash balance projection. Use it the week you start a search or the day a layoff hits. The output gives you a target month to land an accepted offer with a two-month cushion, so the search runs on a clock you set instead of a panic deadline your bank account picks for you.
