Pro Tips for Cash Runway
- Use net burn (cash out minus cash in), not gross spending, for an accurate runway if the business has any revenue.
- Recalculate regularly, since burn rate often changes as a business grows or cuts costs.
Common Cash Runway Mistakes to Avoid
- Using gross monthly spending instead of net burn rate for a business that has some revenue, which understates true runway.
