What to do next
What this means
Estimated Monthly Revenue is $400.00. This measures the operating economics of the business at the volumes and costs you entered.
Is this good or bad?
The result is healthy when it holds up at a realistic sales level, not the optimistic one.
What's the risk?
Cash timing, not accounting profit, is what closes most small businesses.
What should you do next?
Re-run at 70% of your expected volume and confirm the business still covers fixed costs.

- 3

Cost of goods is the largest controllable line.
- 4
