Strategic Pricing Tiers

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common revenue calculation questions to help guide your financial planning.
Revenue (or Turnover) is the total income a business generates from its sales of goods or services. Profit is the amount that remains after all expenses, including the cost of goods sold (COGS) and operating costs, are subtracted from revenue. Revenue is the “top line,” while profit is the “bottom line.”
COGS includes all direct costs to produce your product or deliver your service. For a product, this would be raw materials, manufacturing labor, and packaging. For a service, it could be the cost of specialized software or contractors directly involved in client work. It does not include indirect costs like marketing or administrative salaries.
Operating Expenses (OpEx) are the costs required for the day-to-day functioning of the business, which are not directly related to production. Common examples include office rent, utilities, marketing and advertising costs, administrative staff salaries, and professional fees.
A “good” profit margin varies widely by industry. For example, retail and restaurants often have low margins (2-6%), while software (SaaS) and consulting can have high margins (20-30%+). The key is whether your margin is sufficient to cover costs, enable reinvestment, and provide a healthy return.
Lenders and investors need to see that you have a clear understanding of your business’s financial health and potential. By presenting a well-researched revenue projection, complete with growth assumptions and profit analysis from this tool, you demonstrate financial literacy and a credible plan for repayment and growth.
MRR stands for Monthly Recurring Revenue. It’s the predictable income a business can expect to receive every month from active subscriptions. ARR is Annual Recurring Revenue, calculated as MRR multiplied by 12. These are the most critical growth metrics for any subscription-based company.
For new businesses, a 5-10% monthly growth rate can be an ambitious but achievable target. For established businesses, 10-20% annual growth is often considered strong. Your estimate should be based on market size, marketing efforts, sales team capacity, and historical performance if available.
No, this tool calculates pre-tax profit (also known as PBT – Profit Before Tax). Tax obligations vary significantly based on your business structure (sole proprietorship, LLC, corporation), location, and other factors. You should consult with an accountant to determine your specific tax liabilities.
It’s a best practice to review your financial projections on a quarterly basis. Compare your projected numbers to your actual performance. This allows you to identify what’s working, what isn’t, and adjust your strategy accordingly. If there are major market changes or internal events, you should review them immediately.
Gross Profit is your revenue minus the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS). It measures how efficiently you produce your goods or deliver your services. Net Profit is what remains after you subtract ALL expenses (both COGS and Operating Expenses) from your revenue. Net profit gives a complete picture of your company’s profitability.
