Assumptions Finally Stopped Sprawling
The pricing, cost, and growth tabs were all over the place until I used this model. It pulled everything into one clean setup and saved me about 6 hours of spreadsheet cleanup.

I could finally see runway and shortfalls month by month instead of guessing. That made our next planning call much faster and helped me spot a funding gap before it became a problem.
I wasn’t sure what investors would expect, but this template gave the structure and outputs I needed. I walked into the meeting with a cleaner story and sent the model the same day.
The modified Excel and Google Sheets workbook predicts recurring revenues from customer acquisition, active cohorts, level fees and life-long assumptions over five years with statements and scenarios.
Use the model to plan recurring customer revenues, COGS, operating costs, wages, capital expenditure, financing and cash needs within a single combined forecast.
Editable assumptions flow through monthly calculations to the Income Statement, cash flow, balance sheet, scenario comparisons, chart navigation and management reports.
The model converts marketing spending and CAC into new customers, allocates them according to the level, preserves cohorts by life or churn, and applies monthly fees to active customers.
Apply the seasonality of monthly marketing to marketing expenses, and then divide by CAC to calculate new customers.
You can allocate new customers to different service levels each month using a custom-made customer basket.
Keep each customer cohort for its period of validity before it expires from the active base.
Connect customers starting with non-exhaustive cohorts to calculate active customers at the level of each month.
Multiply active customers by monthly fees at each level and then the sum of revenues at each level and month.
The revenue application showed the links between marketing budgets, CAC, the allocation of tiers, customer lifetime, active cohorts and monthly fees to recurring revenue forecasts.
REVENUE
