How it is calculated
Runway = cash balance ÷ monthly burn rate. It's not how long the company will exist — it's how long the cash lasts if nothing changes, neither revenue nor spending.
Burn rate is specifically the net figure: not all of a company's spending, but spending minus all incoming revenue. If revenue grows faster than spending, burn rate falls and runway extends on its own, without any extra funding.
Runway is a snapshot, not a forecast: actual burn rate usually changes — it rises with hiring, falls as revenue grows. It's worth recalculating regularly rather than once, and treating the result as a planning signal for the next funding round or cost cuts, not as a fixed deadline.
