    ⭐ 4.7 / 5 Rating1,243 calculations completed

    This model builds a forward-looking income statement using your revenue baseline, COGS rate, and industry-specific operating expense lines. Each expense category is drawn from sector benchmarks — so a Technology company sees Engineering & R&D, Sales & Marketing, and Customer Success, while a Healthcare provider sees Clinical Staff, Medical Supplies, and Compliance costs.

    P&L waterfall: Revenue → (–COGS) → Gross Profit → (–OpEx) → EBITDA → (–D&A) → EBIT → (–Interest) → EBT → (–Tax) → Net Profit
    View methodology

    Each period, revenue compounds at the defined growth rate and is adjusted by a macro demand impact factor. COGS is a fixed percentage of revenue. Each OpEx line compounds at the OpEx growth rate. EBITDA subtracts total OpEx from gross profit. D&A is a fixed monthly charge. Interest expense is a fixed monthly outflow. Tax applies only when EBT is positive. The Financial Health Engine scores the final period against sector-calibrated thresholds to produce an overall profitability health rating.
