Privacy
This is a network-required beta. After you give consent, only the listed assistant fields are sent through the server gateway. Known contact and tax-ID patterns are redacted; confidential financial identifiers and credentials are rejected. The browser never receives provider keys, and this app does not save prompts or drafts. Gemini or Groq retention and usage terms still apply. If no provider key is configured, the gateway returns a deterministic local template.
Important limitations
  • No local rent, salary, licence, tax, inventory or vendor rates are invented.
  • Cost categories are only as complete as the lines you enter.

A quick guide

Use the number with context

The answer is only useful when you know what it includes and what it leaves out.

How to use it

  1. Enter one-time and monthly cost lines with amounts.
  2. Select the runway and contingency you want to test.
  3. Review missing categories and replace estimates with evidence.

Formula

Estimated funding = (one-time costs + monthly costs × selected runway) × (1 + contingency).

Use the total as a checklist for quotes and cash planning, not as a funding or permit-cost benchmark.

Make it concrete

Worked example

₹65,000 one-time costs + ₹70,000 monthly costs × 6 months with 10% contingency produces a transparent planning scenario.

Boundaries

What this tool does not assume

Limitations

  • No local rent, salary, licence, tax, inventory or vendor rates are invented.
  • Cost categories are only as complete as the lines you enter.

Edge cases

  • Each cost line should contain one amount; ambiguous lines are flagged for review.
  • Separate deposits and one-time setup from recurring cash costs.
