how long do i have to have left on my passport to travel to the usa

It just needs to be valid for the period you plan to be there, assuming you are a UK passport holder applying for a visa waiver on arrival.

The actual rule says 90 days (which is the standard admission period for a visa waiver) but there is a concession for UK (and some other) passport holders that if the passport is not valid for 90 days, they will only be admitted for as long as it is valid.

Ignore anyone who spouts out 6 months - that is rubbish.

Dzug is spot on as usual but, however many times he posts that perfectly correct answer, someone always seems to try to contradict him.

Therefore, in order to back up Dzug's answer, I'll provide the relevant link to the US website which shows that your passport only needs to be valid for the duration of your stay in the USA:
