Quitting is a financial decision before it is an emotional one. This tool checks your savings runway, the strength of your next opportunity, your current stress and your job security โ then tells you whether it is the right time, risky, or not recommended yet, with the exact reasons.
Your situation
Verdict
- โข Runway: you have of essential expenses covered. That is the blocking point. That is a real safety net.
- โข Opportunity: A concrete path forward exists. Quitting without a concrete next step is a bet.
- โข Security:
Financially ready. You have a runway, a real opportunity and a reason to leave. Give notice professionally, keep the relationship warm and protect your benefits dates (health coverage, vesting, notice pay).
High risk. One key element is missing โ either the runway is thin for a leap, or the alternative is not concrete enough. Strengthen that one element first; the decision will feel obvious afterwards.
Money is ready, the plan is not. You could survive the transition, but with a weak alternative and manageable stress, the upside of staying and building leverage (or job-hunting while employed) is larger.
Not recommended yet. With under ~3 months of runway, quitting without income secured puts you in a worse negotiating position everywhere. First: cut costs, save aggressively, and use sick days / therapy / support for the stress rather than resignation.
