Description
This Nutritional Supplement Store Financial Model is an Excel template for a 1,500-square-foot independent shop in suburban Indianapolis. It projects 2026–2030 sales from customer traffic, units purchased, five categories, prices, and seasonality, then calculates operating expenses through EBITDA.
The example sells sealed, branded supplements over the counter, excluding e-commerce, manufacturing, private label, clinical services, food preparation, and customer credit. All figures are illustrative estimates, not observed results.

REVENUE FORECAST
How Does the Supplement Store Revenue Forecast Work?
One paying-customer pool generates units sold, allocated once across five categories and multiplied by net prices.
For 2026, assume 35 paying customers per day, 26 open days per month, and 1.65 units per customer. Apply one seasonal multiplier to this demand pool and assign every sold unit to exactly one category.
Unit shares and net prices are protein powder 35% at $45, vitamins 25% at $25, minerals 15% at $20, sports performance 15% at $32, and herbal/digestive 10% at $28. The weighted price is $32.60 per unit.
Revenue Forecast
The Revenue Forecast connects shoppers, purchase size, seasonal factors, category shares, and prices to sales by category. The monthly Calc sheet aggregates those outputs into annual revenue.
2026 selected-assumption revenue calculation
35 customers/day × 26 days/month × 1.65 units/customer × 12 seasonality-equivalent months × $32.60/unit ≈ $587,387 revenue.
Seasonality totals 12.0 equivalent months, with stronger January and softer summer trading. Paying customers rise to 40, 45, 48, and 50 daily in 2027–2030; nominal selling prices stay flat.
The January 31, 2026 launch date activates the entire selected month. Revenue is net of discounts, returns, and sales tax; this demand-based example has no visitor-conversion funnel or staffing-capacity limit.
COSTS AND STAFFING
How Are Store Expenses and Payroll Calculated?
Direct merchandise costs, variable selling expenses, fixed overhead, and Payroll are separate layers before EBITDA.
COGS equals 58% merchandise, 1.5% inbound freight, and 1.5% damaged, expired, or missing stock: 61% of revenue. Variable selling expenses add 2.5% processing, 2.5% promotion, and 0.3% checkout supplies: 5.3% of revenue.
The implied gross margin is 39%, and contribution margin before overhead and Payroll is 33.7%. Rates are estimated for total sales, not verified category margins.
COGS and Operating Expenses
The COGS and Operating Expenses forecast separates merchandise acquisition, transaction-linked expenses, and fixed shop overhead. Changing these inputs shows how revenue translates into contribution and operating costs.
Fixed expenses are $57,300 annually, including $3,000 monthly rent and occupancy ($36,000 per year), plus utilities, insurance, software, professional services, security, repairs, and licenses.
Payroll separately totals $97,000 in 2026 and $115,000 in 2030. Employer payroll taxes, benefits, and personal income taxes are excluded from this case.
Payroll Forecast by Staff Role
The Payroll Forecast models manager and associate FTE, hiring periods, and base salaries, then contributes personnel costs to the monthly financial projections. These salaries are not counted again in COGS or fixed operating expenses.
A working manager remains 1.0 FTE at $52,000 per year. Associates earn $36,000 annually per FTE, increasing from 1.25 FTE in 2026 to 1.75 FTE by 2030; FTE is not employee headcount.
STARTUP AND WORKING CAPITAL
What Startup Investment and Funding Are Planned?
Opening assets, preopening cash, working capital, and owner equity are separate from operating expenses and EBITDA.
Named opening assets include $20,000 of leasehold improvements and signage, $12,000 of fixtures, $2,000 of stockroom equipment, and $4,000 of checkout hardware. A camera system is also listed without a separate amount.
Capital Expenditure Plan
The Capital Expenditure Plan schedules purchases and depreciation for store fit-out and equipment. These investments are kept separate from resale inventory and recurring operating expenses.
Other opening cash includes deposits, permits and setup, marketing, and preopening rent and training. Working-capital inputs are 88 inventory days, 15 payable days, and zero receivable days, reflecting over-the-counter sales without customer credit.
Sources and Uses of Funds
The Sources and Uses of Funds report organizes financing and cash allocation. The model estimates $274,607 initial owner funding and includes no committed third-party financing.
The owner amount covers opening assets, distinct startup cash, opening net working capital, and three months of recurring outflows. It is equity funding, not operating revenue or evidence of cash sufficiency.
FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS
What Does the Illustrative Five-Year Forecast Show?
The selected supplement retail case projects annual revenue, operating expenses, and EBITDA in US dollars for 2026–2030.
| Year | Revenue | Operating Expenses | EBITDA |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $587,387 | $543,737 | $43,649 |
| 2027 | $671,299 | $599,371 | $71,928 |
| 2028 | $755,212 | $664,005 | $91,206 |
| 2029 | $805,559 | $697,386 | $108,173 |
| 2030 | $839,124 | $728,639 | $110,485 |
Illustrative model calculations, not historical outcomes; displayed figures are rounded individually to whole dollars.
Revenue moves from $587,387 in 2026 to $839,124 in 2030 as daily shoppers increase while prices stay flat. Staff coverage and variable costs rise with the forecast.
EBITDA increases from $43,649 to $110,485. It follows COGS, variable expenses, fixed overhead, and Payroll, but excludes depreciation, interest, tax, working-capital movements, and financing.
Cash Flow Forecast
The Cash Flow Forecast reconciles operating, investing, and financing cash flows to opening and closing cash. It helps examine inventory purchases, supplier payments, capital spending, and owner contributions that EBITDA cannot capture.
BREAK-EVEN AND RETURNS
How Can Break-Even, Payback, and Scenarios Help?
Use Returns and scenarios to examine operating thresholds, investment recovery, and performance without equating them to EBITDA.
Sales break-even compares revenue with the operating cost structure; cash break-even tracks inflows versus outflows. Investment payback measures cumulative capital recovery, while annual ROIC relates returns to invested capital.
Dashboard controls offer Low, Base, and High multipliers for revenue and operating costs. Four optional debt rows support financing structures, though the selected example assumes no committed outside borrowing.
Break-Even, Payback and ROIC
The Returns report combines sales break-even, cash break-even, investment payback, and annual ROIC. These measures use distinct calculations: positive EBITDA does not itself establish a payback date or investment return.
Valuation provides DCF and terminal sensitivities; Benchmarks compares projections with user-entered reference ratios. The source does not supply a valuation, payback month, ROIC, or benchmark gap.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions About This Excel Model
Answers about model inputs, scope, and financial reports.
Can I edit customer traffic and category prices?
Yes. Edit daily customers, trading days, units per purchase, category unit shares, prices, and monthly seasonality.
Does the example include online supplement sales?
No. It models sealed branded products sold in-store, without online sales, manufacturing, or private-label activity.
Are the inputs verified Indianapolis benchmarks?
No. Prices, traffic, costs, and salaries are illustrative estimates, not verified Indianapolis averages or past store results.
Does Payroll include the owner-manager?
Yes. The paid manager is one FTE at a $52,000 annual base salary, separate from COGS.
Are customer receivables and inventory included?
Yes. Receivables are zero days, inventory 88 days, and supplier payables 15 days in the illustrated working-capital controls.
Do the reports include cash flow and a balance sheet?
Yes. Income Statement, Cash Flow, and Balance Sheet reports are included, but example numeric outputs are supplied only through EBITDA.
Does positive EBITDA mean the investment pays back?
No. The Returns report distinguishes sales break-even, cash break-even, investment payback, and annual ROIC. None is quantified in the supplied case.
Can I model a loan or a downside scenario?
Yes. The Dashboard supports Low, Base, and High scenarios and four optional debt facilities; this case assumes owner-only opening funding.

Hours Back Fast
Building the supplement store model by hand would’ve eaten my week, but this template got me to a clean forecast in an afternoon. I saved about 12 hours and could move on to pricing and launch planning.
Everything In One Place
My statements and charts were all over the place before, so it was hard to see the full picture. This kept everything in one file and made our monthly reporting much easier to share.
Fewer Formula Worries
I was worried one bad formula could throw off the whole model, but the layout made it easy to follow and check. That saved me from a costly rebuild and gave me more confidence in the numbers.
