Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between gross and net burn?
Gross burn is total cash spent each month; net burn subtracts monthly revenue, showing the true cash shortfall or surplus.
Why does net burn matter more than gross burn?
Net burn reflects the actual cash draining from the business after income, which directly determines your runway.
Can burn rate be negative?
A negative net burn means the business is generating more cash than it spends, which is a positive sign.
