Revenue Forecast Calculator

Forecast what the next month, quarter, or year could look like before the gap shows up in your bank account. Use booked work, pending quotes, and win rate to build a faster planning number.

How To Use This Calculator

1. Pick one period

Choose weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly and keep every number in that same time window.

2. Enter booked work

Add revenue already committed for that period: recurring contracts plus one-off jobs already sold.

3. Add your pipeline

Enter open quote value, apply your normal win rate, then use the buffer to make the forecast more conservative if needed.

The final number is: booked revenue + likely quote wins - your conservative buffer.

No credit card required

This tool is for planning, not wishful thinking. It helps you combine already-booked revenue with likely quote wins so you can spot soft months early and make better decisions before they turn into cash flow stress.

If a quote is still out for approval, include it in open quote value. If the work is already signed, move it into booked recurring or booked one-off revenue instead.

How This Revenue Forecast Works

Start with the work that is already on the board. That means recurring revenue and one-off jobs you expect to complete in the period you are planning for.

Then add the quote pipeline. Instead of pretending every open quote will close, this calculator applies a win rate so you get a more realistic view of what that pending work is worth. A buffer lets you make the forecast more conservative if you want extra breathing room.

Formula

Booked recurring revenue + booked one-off revenue + (open quote value x win rate) - conservative buffer

When To Use It

Use this tool when you are deciding whether the business can support a hire, a slower season, a marketing push, or a large purchase. It is also useful when you feel busy but still are not sure what the next month actually looks like in dollars.

If you want to work backward from the forecast into pricing, compare it with the service price calculator and the profit margin calculator.

What To Include In A Good Forecast

Forecasts get more useful when the inputs are grounded in what is actually happening in the business. That means recurring contracts, real booked jobs, the real value of open quotes, and a win rate based on what usually happens, not what you hope happens.

If your cash timing matters as much as total revenue, pair this with your cash flow planning and your profit and loss review.
