Frequently Asked Questions
How is the monthly growth rate calculated if I enter an annual rate?
If you enter an annual growth rate (e.g., 12%), the calculator determines the equivalent *compounded* monthly growth rate. This is done using the formula: Monthly Rate = (1 + Annual Rate)^(1/12) - 1. This provides a more accurate month-to-month projection than simply dividing the annual rate by 12. A similar logic applies if you select quarterly growth.
Does this tool account for seasonality or specific events?
No, this is a simplified forecaster based on a consistent growth rate applied over the selected period. It does not automatically account for seasonal fluctuations, one-off marketing campaigns, new product launches, or external economic factors. Use it as a baseline projection tool.
What revenue figure should I use as the 'Current Revenue'?
Use a representative figure for the chosen 'Revenue Period'. For example, if selecting 'Monthly', use your most recent complete month's revenue or an average of the last few months if your revenue fluctuates significantly. If selecting 'Annual', use your last full year's revenue.
Is the 'Growth Rate' net or gross?
The growth rate applies to the revenue figure you input. If you input gross revenue, it forecasts gross revenue growth. If you input net revenue (after costs), it forecasts net revenue growth. Ensure consistency.
