Calculator Formula

The forecasted customer acquisition is calculated using the following formula:

\( \text{Future Number of Customers} = \text{Current Number of Customers} \times (1 + \frac{\text{Monthly Growth Rate}}{100})^{\text{Number of Months}} \)

This formula leverages compound growth to provide a precise estimate of your future customer base.

Usage Examples

Example 1

Situation: You have 100 current customers, expect a monthly growth rate of 10%, and want to forecast the number of customers in 3 months.

  • Current Number of Customers: 100
  • Monthly Growth Rate (%): 10
  • Number of Months: 3

Calculation:

\( \text{Future Number of Customers} = 100 \times (1 + \frac{10}{100})^{3} \approx 133.10 \)

Explanation: This means you can expect to have approximately 133 customers in 3 months, illustrating a growth of 33.10 customers from your current base.

Example 2

Situation: You have 200 current customers, expect a monthly growth rate of 5%, and want to forecast for 6 months.

  • Current Number of Customers: 200
  • Monthly Growth Rate (%): 5
  • Number of Months: 6

Calculation:

\( \text{Future Number of Customers} = 200 \times (1 + \frac{5}{100})^{6} \approx 268.78 \)

Explanation: In this scenario, you can expect to have around 269 customers after 6 months, reflecting an increase of 69 customers.
