Medical Device Manufacturing
Financial Model

What are the key revenue drivers and assumptions?

Your revenue is built from the ground up, product by product, based on units produced and sales price per unit. For example, in 2026, producing 100 Portable Ultrasound units at a price of $25,000 each generates $2.5 million in revenue. The model sums the revenue across all five product lines-from high-volume Surgical Staplers (1,000 units at $500 each) to high-value Endoscope Cameras (20 units at $40,000 each). This detailed revenue projection spreadsheet for medical device sales allows you to see exactly which products drive growth and test different pricing or production scenarios.

How are Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) structured?

The model provides a detailed medical device COGS calculation spreadsheet, breaking costs down into per-unit and percentage-of-revenue components. Take the Orthopedic Implant, which sells for $15,000. Its direct per-unit costs for materials and labor total $1,500 ($800 for biomaterials, $400 for machining, etc.). On top of that, the model adds indirect costs as a percentage of revenue, like Quality Assurance (0.6% or $90) and Regulatory Compliance (0.4% or $60). This two-part structure gives you a precise view of your gross margin on every single product you sell.

What operating expenses should I budget for?

Your operating expenses are clearly divided into fixed costs and payroll. The model assumes monthly fixed costs of $43,800, which covers essentials like R&D lab rent ($15,000), regulatory consulting ($10,000), and insurance ($3,000). For payroll, the Year 1 (2026) salary expenses total $897,500 for a lean team of 6.5 full-time equivalents (FTEs), including a CEO ($200,000) and Head of R&D ($180,000). This provides a clear operating expenses budget for a medical equipment manufacturer, separating stable overhead from staffing costs that will scale with growth.

What are the initial startup capital requirements?

The model outlines $1,115,000 in initial capital expenditures (CAPEX) required to launch operations. This funding is allocated to critical one-time investments spread across the first several months of 2026. The largest items include an Advanced CNC Machining Center for $350,000 and a Cleanroom Setup for $200,000. These figures provide a realistic baseline for your startup capital requirements, ensuring you account for the foundational equipment and infrastructure needed before production can even begin.

When does the business become profitable?

You'll have a clear line of sight to profitability. Based on the pre-built assumptions, the business reaches its breakeven point in January 2026, just one month after launch. The model projects a strong Year 1 EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) of $3.1 million. This robust profitability grows steadily, reaching over $25.3 million by Year 5, demonstrating a powerful and scalable financial trajectory from the very start. This is a critical financial forecast for a new medical device product launch.

How does the model manage cash flow?

Cash flow management for medical devices is critical, especially with heavy upfront investment. The model shows your cash position month by month, projecting a minimum cash balance of approximately $1.1 million in January 2026. This low point directly reflects the significant CAPEX outflows in the early months. By tracking cash this closely, you can ensure you have enough liquidity to cover large equipment purchases like the $350,000 CNC machine and the $200,000 cleanroom setup without running into a crunch.

What financial metrics do investors care about?

This model calculates the high-level metrics that matter most to investors. The projections show a 49% Internal Rate of Return (IRR), a key measure of an investment's profitability, and a Return on Equity (ROE) of 71.16%. Plus, with a payback period of just one month, the model demonstrates an incredibly fast return of initial capital. These are the exact figures that venture capitalists and angel investors will scrutinize to assess your company's potential, making this defintely the right tool for your startup valuation.

This medical device manufacturing financial model is built to be 100% editable, giving you complete control over your projections. You can easily adapt all core assumptions-from product launch timelines to cost structures-to match your specific business plan. This saves you dozens of hours building a model from scratch while ensuring your medical equipment financial projections are perfectly aligned with your strategy.
