We use cookies for analytics (Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the site) and targeting (Meta, to measure our Facebook and Instagram ads). Necessary cookies cover sign-in and security only. See our privacy policy.
Your browser sends a privacy signal (GPC), so Targeting is off by default. You can still turn it on here if you want - your choice overrides the signal.
We take your privacy seriously. Resyrv stores small amounts of information in your browser - cookies and similar storage - to keep you signed in, keep your account secure, and remember your preferences. Those essentials are the minimum the site needs to work.
The rest is your call. Analytics cookies help us understand which pages are useful and where visitors run into trouble. Targeting cookies let us measure whether our Facebook and Instagram ads are worth running. We do not sell personal information, and declining optional cookies never limits what you can do on Resyrv.

Fleet, buy versus lease, setup costs, and runway in - total startup capital, monthly burn, and a break-even timeline out. Built for people pricing a school, club, or rental operation on the back of a napkin.

Rules of thumb, not a business plan. Financing, taxes, and Part 61 versus Part 141 structure will move these numbers.
+ Before you sign anything
Buying puts the capital up front and keeps the hourly economics lean; leasing (or leaseback) keeps startup costs low but hands part of every flying hour to the owner. This tool models both so you can see the crossover for your numbers.
Certification and legal work, initial insurance deposits, avionics or interior refreshes, tooling, a website, and the first round of marketing. Groups routinely underestimate this line - when in doubt, round up.
Utilization ramps slower than anyone plans. Two to six months of fixed costs in the bank is the difference between a slow first quarter and a fire sale. The estimator counts that runway as part of your startup capital on purpose.
From day one it is the scheduling, billing, and maintenance layer, so the operation you are pricing here runs without spreadsheets. Software is a rounding error in this budget; the leakage it prevents is not.
Add your aircraft and your rates, then see the schedule, the squawks, and the ledger all work off one record. No card required.
