How It Is Calculated
Operating Surplus = Monthly Revenue − Monthly Business Expenses
Surplus-Based Salary = Operating Surplus × Salary Allocation %
Monthly Burn = Monthly Business Expenses − Monthly Revenue
The suggested salary is constrained by both operating surplus and the target runway.

funding agreements, investor expectations, and company policy.
