How this works and common questions

About this tool

Revenue is the average sale times purchases a year times years. Margin dollars use the percent you type. A simple estimate, not advice.

How it works

Multiply the average sale by the number of purchases a year and by the number of years. Then multiply that revenue by the margin percent you type.

Rules

A simple estimate, not advice. An $80.00 sale, 4 purchases a year, and 3 years is $960.00. A 40% margin of that revenue is $384.00. A zero in purchases or years makes the revenue zero.
