Revenue Growth Calculator
Calculate period-on-period growth rates and project revenue forward.
What the Revenue Growth Calculator does
Revenue growth compounds. The per-period rate is the constant rate that would take you from start to end, which is more meaningful than averaging individual period growth rates.
Formula
Total growth % = (End − Start) ÷ Start × 100Growth per period = (End ÷ Start)^(1 ÷ Periods) − 1Annualised = (1 + Per-period rate)^Periods per year − 1

Frequently asked questions
What growth rate should a startup target?
Early-stage SaaS benchmarks often cite 15–20% month-on-month, but that is unsustainable at scale. Mature businesses growing 10–20% a year are performing well.
