Status quo
How hires get decided today
The role is clear and so is the salary, roughly. What the start month does to your runway, nobody knows — and that comparison lives nowhere.
Today
- Decided on gut feel and how busy it feels
- The start month doesn't enter the maths
- Payroll planned separately in a sheet
- Correcting afterwards
With Foreqast
- Decided with a runway date beside it
- Start and end dates are part of the model
- Payroll straight in the cash flow
- Simulating beforehand
How it works
From a hiring plan to a runway date
Four steps, each powered by a feature.
Import your actual payroll costs
Salaries and employer contributions arrive already assigned to accounts from your accounting — the past side of your people plan builds itself.

See spend, cash and the runway date respond
Monthly spend against revenue, change in cash and cumulative cash beneath — the runway date sits beside the decision instead of behind it.

FAQ
Payroll planning, answered
Are employer contributions included?
Automatic employer contributions and payroll taxes are on the roadmap. Today you plan with fully loaded cost per role.
Can I plan departures?
Yes. Every role has a start and end date, so offboarding sits in the plan just like a hire.
Do I get a salary overview for the whole team?
Yes, including total monthly spend and the simulated version beside it.
Does the start month matter?
A lot. May instead of September moves your runway date — that comparison is exactly the point.
Does this feed the cash flow?
Yes, every planned hire and departure lands directly in the day-by-day forecast.
