Financial Runway Report

In the Toolkit for YNAB there was an option to see how long before you ran out of money "if" your income dropped to zero and your spending remained constant at its current level. It predicted my money would run out in about 6 years.The Financial Runway report in ZS says I'm out of money in 1.6 months and states that my "Available Assets" are only about $4000.00 which is pretty far off from the total amount of cash assets in my on budget accounts. I guess I'm not getting how the Runway report works. It must be quite different than the Toolkit report.I thought these runway reports were basically: "total cash reserves" divided by "monthly burn rate". Or for simplicity's sake... "$100000.00 / $2500.00 = 40months or 3.3 years at current burn rate.What am I missing about the way the report works in ZS?

Thank for the quick fix! The report is now making sense and reporting total available on budget cash correctly.

This should be fixed now. Let me know if you run into any issues

Ah thanks for explaining what that Report means. In that case, there is definitely something wrong - I would apparently run out of money in just 1.7 months! I cannot work out where the available assets figure comes from.

You're welcome! Yeah I was pretty shocked to see that I would only last 1.6 months...Pedro moved this over to bugs so he'll be clearing it pretty quickly I imagine.
