Financial Freedom Runway — what is it?

Definition

Financial Freedom Runway (FFR) is a financial indicator that determines how many months (or years) you can maintain your current lifestyle using only your assets, without additional income sources.

How to calculate Runway?

Basic formula:

Runway = Net asset value / Average monthly expenses

Example

• Net assets: 300,000 PLN
• Average monthly expenses: 5,000 PLN
• Runway = 300,000 / 5,000 = 60 months (5 years)

Why is Runway important?

Runway is one of the most important indicators on the path to financial independence:

1. Easy to understand — tells you directly how much time you have
2. Motivating — watching growing Runway motivates saving
3. Practical — helps make financial decisions
