How to calculate estimated revenue?

To calculate estimated revenue and create projection, you need to do the following steps:

  • Define the number of sales you are going to sell in the next accounting period.
  • Calculate income that you can achieve
  • Calculate possible expenses in the next period
  • Subtract expenses from income (projected values)
  • You will get estimated revenue.

 

The term “estimated revenue” usually implies that final revenue will not be 100% accurate. So, for example, when youtube estimates revenue that you can get next month, it creates an estimated projection, but the final number will be different.
