Blank Sheet, No More
I was stuck staring at an empty workbook, and this template gave me a clean place to start. It cut my setup time by hours and made the first draft feel manageable.
I was stuck staring at an empty workbook, and this template gave me a clean place to start. It cut my setup time by hours and made the first draft feel manageable.
The pricing, costs, and growth tabs finally pulled my numbers into one place. I could explain the assumptions clearly in one meeting instead of digging through scattered notes.
Building the projections by hand would’ve eaten my whole week, but this template had the core model ready to go. I saved at least 10 hours and moved straight to planning.
This editable five-year Excel and Google Sheets model predicts studio revenue from a cohort of clients, billable hours, hourly rates, costs, scenarios, and financial statements.
Use the workbook to translate customer purchases, mixed services, maintenance, billed study time and hourly prices into structured financial forecast.
The editable assumptions are the source of monthly operational calculations, Low, Base, and High-value cases and integrated financial results, allowing an overview of how changes in key factors affect the plan.
The model acquires customers through marketing and CAC spending, allocates and stops service cohorts, converts active customers into billing hours, and applies hourly rates.
New customers equals marketing expenses divided by customer acquisition costs.
Designate new customers by level and hold each cohort for a specific customer lifetime.
Active customers multiply the average billing hours per active customer each month.
Monthly billable hours multiplied by the appropriate hourly rate of service.
Total sums of revenue calculated in terms of services and projected months.
In terms of revenue assumptions, marketing budgets, CAC, service level allocation, customer retention period, billable hours and hourly price are organised based on the customer cohort forecast.
Revenue assumptions
COGS & Operational Expenses separates direct production costs, variable costs and fixed studio expenses so that operating assumptions flow into margins and cash needs.
COGS and operating expenses
The scenario analysis compares the Low, Base, and High results for revenue, gross margin, contribution margin and EBITDA of the five-year forecast.
Analysis of scenarios
Dashboard enables an overview of the global model configuration, scenario controls, key performance indicators (KPIs), revenue mixtures, profitability, cash flow and payback period of investments in one place.

The finished model is suitable for studies using customer acquisition on a cohort basis and affordable hourly prices; structural differences in revenue or operational logic may require individual modelling.
The indicator is the starting point for planning, not a guarantee of performance.
