Variables Explained

{{price}}: The average selling price of your product (in currency units)
{{growth}}: Expected monthly growth rate (as a percentage, e.g., 5 for 5%)
{{orders}}: Number of successful orders expected in the first month
{{marketing}}: Percentage of the previous month's revenue to be allocated to sales and marketing efforts
{{cost}}: Net cost per order (includes manufacturing, fulfillment, etc.)

Tips for Accurate Forecasting

Be realistic with growth rates: Unless you have strong evidence, avoid projecting unsustainable growth rates
Consider seasonality: If your product has seasonal variations, you may need to adjust the monthly growth rates accordingly
Update regularly: Revisit your forecast monthly or quarterly to adjust based on actual performance
Use historical data: If available, base your initial parameters on past performance rather than aspirational targets

Example Use Case

A SaaS company launching a new $49 monthly subscription with 100 initial customers, 8% monthly growth, $15 cost per order, and 25% marketing spend would input: price=49, growth=8, orders=100, marketing=25, cost=15
