BURN RATE

cash burn rate

Monthly cash usage: expenses minus revenue.

Why it matters

Shows how much it costs to keep the company alive for the next month.

What's missing without it

Without this number, you can't calculate cash reserves or plan hiring.

When it is used

In internal reports and investor presentations.

How we use it

Burning 200,000 PLN per month: expenses 300,000 minus revenue 100,000.

Fun fact

There's a difference between gross and net burn. Companies boasting low burn usually report the latter — after subtracting revenue, which can be one-time.
