Margins Made Clear Fast
This template showed me exactly where the margin was going and when break-even hit, so I stopped guessing. It saved me hours of spreadsheet work and gave me a cleaner view for pricing decisions.

I used this model to get my pitch into the right structure, and the investor call felt much easier to lead. We booked a follow-up meeting because the outputs were clear and matched what they wanted to see.
All my pricing, cost, and growth inputs finally lived in one place instead of scattered across tabs. I cleaned up the model in under an hour and could explain every assumption without digging around.
It is an editable five-year Excel model that transforms channel marketing, CAC, recurring purchases, units, product mix and price into financial statements and scenarios.
Use it to plan customer acquisition, repeat orders, sales of product categories, operating costs, cash needs and financial results from one related forecast.
The editorial assumptions flow through monthly calculations to annual projections, comparisons of scenarios, financial statements, navigation desktops and decisions reports shown in the workbook.
The model collects customers by channel, transfers recurring cohorts, converts orders into units, allocates these units according to a mixture of categories and prices of each category.
New customers are equal to channel marketing expenses divided into CAC of each channel, and then added online and offline customers.
Some new customers become repeat buyers, with each active cohort for a certain life.
Monthly orders combine first purchases with active customers repeated multiple times the average orders repeated monthly.
Contracts are multiplied by average units per order and then units are allocated to categories according to the sales mix.
The units allocated to each category are multiplied by its price and then the revenue of the category is aggregated over the months.
The calculation sheet of revenue assumptions organizes channel budgets, CAC, repeat customer behaviour, order frequency, custom units, sales mix and category price.
Revenue assumptions
The COGS and OPEX spreadsheet separates the direct production costs, variable costs and fixed operating costs throughout the forecast.
COGS & OPEX
The scenario analysis compares low, underlying and high cases in terms of revenue, gross margin, coverage margin and EBITDA.
Analysis of scenarios
You can use the navigation desktop to review configuration controls, multiple scenarios, key indicators, underlying finance, mix of revenues, profitability, cash flow and investment return graphs.

It adapts to companies using channel acquisition, recurring purchases, unit sales based on orders, a mixture of categories and prices; different commercial logic may require individual modelling.
The indicator is the starting point for planning, not a guarantee of performance.
The Financial Models Lab can build or customize the model when you need a different revenue logic, operational schedule or reporting for your needs.
