How it’s calculated

  1. Subscriptions

    $25.00 × 400 = $10,000.00

  2. Consulting hours

    $35.50 × 60 = $2,130.00

  3. Sales

    $10,000.00 + $2,130.00 = $12,130.00

  4. Per year

    $12,130.00 × 12 = $145,560.00

How the business revenue calculator works

List each product or service with its price and how many you sell in a week, month, quarter or year. The calculator multiplies each price by the quantity, adds the lines together and, if you choose, takes off a percentage for returns and refunds. It then scales the result to a full year and shows which lines bring in the most.

Turn on growth to project revenue forward with the same percentage change every period, with a running total.

The formula

Line revenue = Price × Quantity sold

Revenue = Σ Line revenue − Returns

Revenue per year = Revenue × Periods per year

Revenue in period k = Revenue × (1 + Growth %)^(k − 1)

Periods per year are 52 weeks, 12 months or 4 quarters.

Worked example

In a month, a business sells 400 subscriptions at 25 and 60 consulting hours at 35.50, and refunds 2% of sales:

  • Subscriptions: 25 × 400 = 10,000.00
  • Consulting: 35.50 × 60 = 2,130.00
  • Sales: 10,000.00 + 2,130.00 = 12,130.00
  • Returns: 12,130.00 × 2% = 242.60
  • Revenue: 12,130.00 − 242.60 = 11,887.40 a month
  • Per year: 11,887.40 × 12 = 142,648.80

With 5% growth a month, the next two months would be 12,481.77 and 13,105.86.

Assumptions and limitations

  • Amounts are worked in whole cents and rounded half up.
  • Every period is assumed to be like the one you enter. Seasonal businesses should project from yearly figures.
  • No costs, taxes or payment fees are taken off. This is revenue, not profit.
  • The growth projection is arithmetic, not a forecast.

Frequently asked questions

Is revenue the same as profit?

No. Revenue is the money customers pay you. Profit is what is left after your costs. To see profit, use the Profit Margin or Break-Even calculators with your costs.

Why is a year 52 weeks?

A year has 52 full weeks and one or two extra days. Using 52 keeps weekly figures simple; if your business is open a set number of weeks a year, enter your sales per year instead.

What counts as returns and refunds?

Money you give back after a sale: refunded orders, returned goods and credits. Enter the share from your own records. If you do not have one yet, leave it off.

How should I choose a growth rate?

Base it on your own sales history where you can. The projection simply repeats the same percentage every period, so it shows what a growth rate would mean, not what will happen.

Does it include sales tax or VAT?

It uses the prices you enter. If your prices include sales tax or VAT that you pass on to the government, enter prices without it to see the revenue your business keeps.
