Burn Rate = Current Assets/Average daily operating costs

Burn rate is usually quoted in terms of cash spent per month. For example, a burn rate of1 million would mean the company is spending1 million per month. When the burn rate begins to exceed forecasts, or revenue fails to meet expectations, the usual recourse is to reduce the burn rate (which, in most companies, means reducing staff).
