Stop guessing whether you can afford to go. Plug in your real numbers and get your runway target, your buffer, and a provisional departure date — in seconds. This is months-not-vibes math.
Your monthly burn at your destination, times the months of cushion you want in the bank before wheels-up.
A flight home, one extra month of burn, and a deductible-level surprise. This never counts toward your runway — it sits underneath it.
Freed cash is the money you unlocked by killing debt and cutting waste. It has a job now — building your runway.
Three honest ways to close the gap — here's what each one buys you right now.
Download the spreadsheet version — the same runway math with live formulas, plus a country-cost reference tab. Opens in Excel or Numbers and imports straight into Google Sheets. Yours to keep, edit, and come back to.
This is the live version of the Runway worksheet from the Flight Plan — the same math we run inside Nomad Base, done for you as you type.
Your realistic monthly cost × the months of cushion you want before you go. That's the number that actually funds the life.
A flight home, one more month of burn, and a real emergency. It sits on top of the runway so a bad week never sends you home broke.
Subtract what you've saved, divide by what you bank each month, and you get a real date on the calendar — not a someday.
Knowing the number is step one. Nomad Base is the room where you actually build the runway — weekly coaching, the full toolkit, and people flying the exact same route. 🛫
