Revenue Projection Calculator
Project your future business revenue based on current revenue and expected annual growth rates.
Understanding Revenue Projections
Revenue projections estimate the amount of money a business will bring in over a specific future period. It is essential for business planning, securing loans, attracting investors, and managing cash flow.
Compound Growth
Like compound interest, consistent revenue growth compounds over time. A 15% year-over-year growth rate applied to an expanding baseline results in an exponential revenue curve rather than a linear one.
Worked Example
- Current Revenue: $100,000
- Growth Rate: 15%
- Projection Period: 3 Years
- Year 1: $115,000
- Year 2: $132,250
- Year 3: $152,087
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do startups project such high growth rates?
Early-stage startups are working from a very small baseline revenue (e.g., $10,000). Doubling that to $20,000 is a 100% growth rate, which is achievable early on. As a company matures and the baseline reaches millions, sustaining high percentage growth becomes much more difficult.
