Acquire Signups
New signups equal marketing spend divided by CAC, then split between free-trial and direct-paid starts.
The editable five-year workbook models subscriber acquisition, activation, churn, tiered pricing, monthly and annual forecasts, scenarios, statements, and dashboard outputs.
Use the model to plan how marketing spend, customer acquisition, trial conversion, subscriber retention, plan mix, and monetization layers translate into financial performance.
Editable operating assumptions feed the subscription-cohort calculations, which then update recognized revenue, financial statements, scenario comparisons, and management reporting.
The model converts marketing-driven signups into paid subscriber cohorts, applies plan mix and churn, then adds enabled usage, setup, box, and add-on revenue.
New signups equal marketing spend divided by CAC, then split between free-trial and direct-paid starts.
After the trial-duration lag, prior trial cohorts convert to paid and current direct-paid activations are added.
New paid activations are distributed across subscription tiers using the editable paid-customer plan mix.
Each tier rolls forward prior subscribers plus activations minus churn, then multiplies active subscribers by monthly price.
Monthly recognized revenue sums subscriptions and enabled monetization layers; annual revenue totals months while ARR remains run-rate.
The Revenue sheet exposes acquisition, trial conversion, customer lifetime, plan allocation, pricing, setup fees, and transaction drivers used by the cohort model.
REVENUE
The COGS & OPEX sheet separates direct costs, variable operating expenses, and fixed expenses with editable timing and percentage-based assumptions.

This template made our break-even point and margin picture clear in one place, so I stopped guessing where profit was leaking. It saved me hours of manual checks before our monthly review.
I finally had a model with the right structure and outputs, so I wasn’t scrambling to figure out what investors wanted. It helped me book a follow-up meeting with a cleaner, more confident story.
Before this, our statements and charts were spread across files; now everything sits in one workbook and the reporting process is much calmer. We cut about 6 hours from each update cycle.
