Budget runway chart: a React and Figma chart in four sizes

What does a budget runway chart show?

A budget runway chart shows spend building up through the month, split by what spends it, with a forecast to the end and the budget as a line. You see today's spend, the projected total and whether it crosses the budget. Use it for model spend, cloud cost and any monthly budget.

Chartory ships it as a Figma component and a React component with the same name. The code installs from the shadcn registry with one command and lands in your project as a file you own.

What is the Budget runway component?

It is one <BudgetRunway> component. Its props are the Figma properties with the same names and values, and the props table above lists them. The data is daily spend by source, a budget.

Sizes XS, S, M and L re-lay the chart out from the data instead of scaling it, so labels stay readable at every size.

When should I use it?

  • Is there a budget line? Yes means the budget runway fits.
  • Does spend build up over the period? Yes means the budget runway fits.
  • Is it split by source? Yes means the budget runway fits.

When does another type fit better?

  • A forecast with a range. Use Forecast band instead.
  • A budget that only burns down. Use Burn-down instead.
  • One total only. Use Area chart instead.

Budget runway questions

Installing, data, Figma and plans.

  • Yes. It installs through the shadcn registry with the shadcn CLI, and the file lands in your project.
