Frequently asked questions
What is burn rate?
Burn rate is how much cash a business spends per month before it is profitable. Here it is the total of your recurring monthly operating costs.
How is runway calculated?
Runway (in months) equals available capital divided by monthly burn rate, assuming no new revenue or funding.
Does this include revenue?
