Profitability, Finally Clear
This model made margins and break-even much easier to see, so I could spot the weak spots in our assumptions before sharing anything. It saved me from guessing and gave me a clean number to discuss with investors.

Building the forecast by hand would have taken me days, but this template cut it down to a few hours. I had a full set of financials ready for planning meetings much faster than expected.
I liked having a structure that kept formulas consistent, because one broken cell can throw off the whole file. It gave me more confidence in the numbers and saved me from rechecking every tab.
This editable Excel workbook and Google Sheets models five years of ATS subscription revenue, monthly and annual forecast, scenarios, financial statements and dashboard results.
Acquisition of plans, trial conversion, increase in subscribers, price levels, operating fees, employment, costs, capital and financing, while updating the financial statements with assumptions.
Marketing costs and CAC constitute registration cohorts; trial conversion, direct payment activation, mix of plans, churn and prices drive recognised subscriptions and optional revenue layers.
The model converts marketing expenditure into registration cohorts, activates paid subscribers after a trial or direct purchase, applies the churn price and plans, and then adds the additional revenue enabled.
The marketing costs shared by the CAC create new registrations, divided into free tests and direct paid launches.
At the end of the test period, the converted test cohorts join the current paid activations directly.
Assignment of activations to different plans; previous subscribers plus activations minus churn specify active subscribers by level.
The MRR level is equal to the active subscribers × the monthly price of the plan; the ARR is equal to twelve times the MRR only as a coefficient of the current KPI.
Monthly subscriptions, usage, configuration, box and additional layers are the sum of recognised revenues; annual revenues are the sum of those months.
The revenue assumptions article organizes the acquisition, the sample processing, the customer retention period, the mix of levels, the subscription price, the configuration fee, the use of transactions and the SaaS metrics.
Revenue assumptions
The COGS & operating expenses article separates hosting and integration costs from variable marketing, processing, commissions and the assumption of fixed operating expenses.
COGS and operating expenses
The scenario analysis compares the low, basic and high trajectories for revenue, gross margin, contribution margin and EBITDA under the five-year forecast.
Analysis of scenarios

Dashboard
The ready-made model is suitable for subscription companies using acquisition, trial conversion, churn, level price and optional monetisation; substantially different operational logic may require individual modelling.
The indicator is the starting point for planning, not a guarantee of performance.
The Financial Models Laboratory may build or adapt the model where a different revenue logic, operational schedule or reporting than the finished structure is needed.
