Work through a scenario

Example inputs are prefilled. Replace them with your own assumptions for one consistent period. No data is sent or saved.

Contribution means revenue less the direct cost of delivering the work. Use the same treatment of tax in every input. This tool does not calculate tax.

How the calculation works

Visits × enquiry rate × close rate = expected customers. Customers × contribution per customer = contribution before marketing costs. Other overheads and the time between spending and receiving income are excluded.
