Enter the number of customers per month, average order frequency, average order value, and expected monthly growth rate. The calculator estimates current revenue and a 12-month run-rate forecast.
Revenue is driven by customer count, purchase frequency, and average order value. Improving any one of these can increase sales without changing the entire business model.
Revenue is not profit. Use the profit or margin calculator after estimating sales.
If you have 500 customers, 2 orders per customer, and a $40 average order value, monthly revenue is $40,000 and annualized revenue is $480,000.
Divide $100,000 by your average revenue per customer per year. If each customer generates $200 per year, you need about 500 customers.
Monthly revenue targets depend on expenses, owner pay, and desired profit. Start with your required profit, then calculate the revenue needed at your expected margin.
Increase average order value, order frequency, upsells, subscriptions, and retention so existing customers buy more often or spend more per order.
Revenue varies by location, category, store size, and online presence. Compare against your rent, payroll, inventory cost, and target margin rather than a single average.
Add your target salary, taxes, operating costs, and desired profit reserve, then divide by your expected profit margin to estimate required revenue.
