Frequently Asked Questions

Gross vs net burn?

Gross is total monthly outlay; net subtracts revenue. This tool derives burn from (starting − ending) ÷ months — e.g. $100k to $70k over 3 months burns $10k/mo. The months slider runs 1–24 with 4 presets (Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A, Bootstrapped) and a 10-entry history.

How much runway is safe?

18+ months post-raise is comfortable; under 6 demands immediate action (raise, cut, or revenue sprint). The default startup killer is slow response.

Extending runway?

Cut burn (hiring freeze first), accelerate revenue, or bridge finance — in that speed order. Model all three scenarios.

Do burn figures upload?

No — math runs locally in your browser. Figures never leave your device.
