Simple Revenue Forecast
Used by developers, writers, and creators worldwide.
A simple revenue forecast projects how revenue grows month over month from a starting figure and a constant growth rate. Enter your current monthly revenue, an expected monthly growth percentage, and how many months ahead to look, and it compounds the growth to show the revenue at the start, the midpoint, and the end of the period, plus the cumulative total across all months. Founders use it to sketch a runway, sales teams to set targets, and anyone modelling a business to see where a given growth rate leads. Compounding growth is easy to underestimate: a steady few percent each month adds up dramatically over a year. The forecast also accepts negative growth, so you can model a decline as well as expansion. It is a back-of-the-envelope model, but it quickly shows whether your assumptions point toward a healthy trajectory. Use it to test scenarios before building a full spreadsheet.

FAQ
how is the growth applied
The growth rate compounds month over month: each month's revenue is the previous month's multiplied by one plus the growth rate. This reflects how steady percentage growth accelerates over time rather than adding a flat amount.
can i model a decline
Yes. Enter a negative growth rate to project shrinking revenue. The same compounding applies, so the forecast shows how a sustained percentage decline reduces both monthly and cumulative revenue.
is this financial advice
No. This is a simplified projection that assumes one constant growth rate, which real businesses rarely have. It is for rough planning only and is not financial advice. Consult a qualified professional for serious forecasting.
