Revenue Forecast Calculator
Project revenue forward at a steady growth rate.
How the revenue forecast calculator works
A forecast is a planning tool, not a prediction. Its value is showing how a modest, sustained growth rate compounds into a materially different business over a year or two.
Enter your current monthly revenue, a growth rate you can defend, and a horizon. The calculator compounds the rate month over month and sums the period so you can see both the exit run-rate and the total.
Small differences in the monthly rate matter more than they look. Going from 4% to 6% monthly growth is the difference between roughly 60% and 100% more revenue over a year.
The formula
How this is calculated
Revenue compounds each month at the growth rate. The ending figure is the final month; the cumulative total sums every month in the period.
Worked example
A $50k/month store growing 6% monthly exits the year near $100k/month.
Frequently asked questions
Should I use a conservative or optimistic growth rate?
Use a rate you can defend from recent months. Forecasts are most useful when they are honest; model a conservative and an optimistic case separately rather than picking one hopeful number.
Does this account for seasonality?
No. It assumes a constant monthly rate, which is a clean planning baseline. For seasonal stores, run separate forecasts for peak and off-peak periods.
