Simple and flexible tool for forecasting ecommerce and transactional revenue models.

The Ecommerce Forecasting Tool is a spreadsheet financial model template for ecommerce businesses. The model uses operational assumptions - growth rate, repeat transaction rates, average revenues per order, customer acquisition costs - to create a revenue forecast plus key reports, including CAC, LTV, CAC payback period and more.

Highlights

The free Ecommerce Model is the simplest structure of the models for forecasting Ecommerce businesses. Creates a forecast of acquisitions, retentions, revenues, acquisition costs, cost of goods sold, CAC and LTV, and is easy to use for ecommerce or transaction-style businesses. I built this tool to help entrepreneurs understand the mechanics behind forecasting the growth and revenues of an ecommerce business, in a package that is easy to use, easy to edit, and easy to understand.

It intentionally simplifies the business down to key inputs, and by default does not include expenses and a calculation of net income.

Foresight's spreadsheet models can be used in both Excel and Google Sheets interchangeably; simply upload the Microsoft Excel model template from Foresight into Google Sheets, or download the Google Sheets to Excel, and everything will structurally work fine.

The models are originally built in Google Sheets, and the formatting is a bit better in Google Sheets; in Excel you may want to adjust the row spacing, fonts, and chart formatting to get the aesthetics you want.
