FREE TOOLS FROM BRIANA’S DESK

Try the numbers.
Understand the assumptions.

Simple calculators for a market headline or a hypothetical research setup. Enter your own figures; these tools do not fetch stock prices.

Market capitalization

Compare a share price with the number of outstanding shares. A lower share price can still represent a larger company.

Position size and risk/reward

Explore a hypothetical long-stock setup using your own entry, stop and target. The share count is rounded down to whole shares.

100 whole shares · $1,000 position · $100 assumed loss · $200 potential gain · 2.00:1 reward/risk

This is arithmetic, not a position recommendation. It assumes fills at the exact entered prices and excludes fees, taxes and slippage. Actual losses can exceed the assumed loss: a stop price is not a guaranteed execution price. Read FINRA’s explanation.

Company cash runway

For a company using cash, compare available cash with a recent quarter’s net cash use. Enter both amounts in millions, from compatible reporting dates.

Simplified cash runway: 5.0 months

Formula: available cash ÷ (quarterly cash use ÷ 3). It assumes the same monthly cash use continues, with no new financing, acquisitions or other changes. It is not a forecast or a solvency assessment. Check which cash and cash-use figures you selected; debt obligations and restricted cash may change the picture.
