About this calculator
What is the difference between gross and net burn?
Gross burn is everything going out. Net burn subtracts revenue coming in, so it is the amount actually drawn from the bank each month: the number that determines runway.
Is burning cash always bad?
Not if it buys something that compounds, like a crew that will be billable next quarter. It is bad when it funds fixed costs that produce no future revenue.
