Revenue Growth Calculator
Calculate your revenue growth rate and annualized CAGR, then project future revenue over 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 years at your chosen growth rate.
Revenue growth
Enter a starting revenue greater than zero.
What is a revenue growth calculator?
A revenue growth calculator measures how fast your revenue is increasing (or decreasing) and projects where it could go. Growth rate is one of the most important numbers in a business — it drives valuation, hiring plans and cash needs.
How is it calculated?
- Growth % = ((Ending − Starting) ÷ Starting) × 100
- Absolute increase = Ending − Starting
- Annualized (CAGR) = ((Ending ÷ Starting)^(1 ÷ Years) − 1) × 100
- Projection = Base × (1 + rate)^years
You can measure growth over months, quarters or years; the calculator annualizes correctly for periods shorter or longer than a year.
Simple growth vs CAGR
Simple growth compares two points in time. CAGR smooths growth into a single yearly rate, which is more useful when comparing periods of different lengths or forecasting forward. Doubling revenue over two years is 100% total growth but about 41% per year compounded.
Example
Revenue grows from $500,000 to $600,000 in a year — 20% growth and a $100,000 increase. Hold that 20% rate and the projection shows $720,000 next year, $864,000 the year after, and so on.
Who should use it
- Founders tracking momentum and setting targets.
- Anyone building a simple revenue forecast.
- Investors comparing growth across companies.

Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate revenue growth?
Revenue growth % = ((Ending revenue − Starting revenue) ÷ Starting revenue) × 100. For example, going from $500,000 to $600,000 is 20% growth.
What is annualized (CAGR) growth?
When growth spans more than one year, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) shows the equivalent steady yearly rate: ((Ending ÷ Starting)^(1 ÷ Years) − 1) × 100. It is the fairest way to compare growth over different periods.
How do I project future revenue?
Projected revenue = Base × (1 + growth rate)^years. Enter a base revenue and a growth rate and the calculator projects 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 years ahead.
Can it handle declining revenue?
Yes. If ending revenue is lower than starting revenue, the growth rate is negative and projections decline accordingly.
