How to calculate expected revenue?

The expected revenue can be calculated using the following formula:

Expected Revenue (ER) is calculated as:

§§ ER = (Expected Sales × Average Selling Price) × (1 + Seasonal Fluctuations/100) + Previous Income × (1 + Expected Growth/100) - Marketing Expenses - Taxes §§

where:

  • § ER § — expected revenue
  • § Expected Sales § — the number of units expected to be sold
  • § Average Selling Price § — the average price at which each unit is sold
  • § Seasonal Fluctuations § — percentage increase or decrease in sales due to seasonal factors
  • § Previous Income § — income from the previous period
  • § Expected Growth § — anticipated growth rate in income
  • § Marketing Expenses § — costs associated with marketing efforts
  • § Taxes § — any taxes or obligations that need to be deducted

This formula provides a comprehensive view of the expected revenue by considering various factors that can influence sales performance.

Example:

  • Expected Sales: 10,000 units
  • Average Selling Price: $50
  • Seasonal Fluctuations: 10%
  • Previous Income: $8,000
  • Expected Growth: 15%
  • Marketing Expenses: $2,000
  • Taxes: $1,500

Calculating Expected Revenue:

§§ ER = (10,000 × 50) × (1 + 10/100) + 8,000 × (1 + 15/100) - 2,000 - 1,500 §§

§§ ER = 500,000 × 1.1 + 8,000 × 1.15 - 2,000 - 1,500 §§

§§ ER = 550,000 + 9,200 - 2,000 - 1,500 = 555,700 §§
