Know exactly how long your cash will last. Plan funding rounds accordingly.
Burn rate measures how quickly your startup spends cash. It's the lifeline metric for every startup and SaaS business. Understanding your burn rate helps you make informed decisions about hiring, marketing spend, and when to raise your next round.
Gross burn rate = Total monthly expenses (before revenue)
Net burn rate = Monthly expenses - Monthly revenue
Runway = Cash balance ÷ Net burn rate (in months)
Track your burn rate monthly to spot trends early. A declining runway with no path to profitability is a warning sign. Most investors want to see at least 12-18 months of runway.
