Burnout Runway Calculator
How many weeks until your current pace breaks?
Pace Inputs
About This Tool
High output without enough recovery narrows your runway faster than most people realize. This tool models workload and recovery balance so you can proactively adjust pace before performance degrades.
How calculation works: Sustainability score starts at 100 and subtracts penalties from overwork (hours above baseline), recovery shortfall, stress, and consecutive weeks at pace. Weeks to threshold scales that score into a runway estimate, then applies a stress amplifier so high stress shortens runway faster. Minimum recovery hours and safe working ceiling are derived from your current work/recovery relationship and stress level, with practical clamps to avoid unrealistic values.
The result gives an estimated sustainability horizon, a safer weekly ceiling, and a recovery target that supports longer-term execution quality.
Use the Fatigue Risk Calculator, Sleep Debt Calculator, and Caffeine Half-Life Calculator to strengthen your recovery plan.
