Revenue growth % between periods. The Revenue Growth Calculator takes revenue in the previous period, revenue in the current period, periods between them (1 = consecutive) and returns revenue growth plus change in revenue, compound growth per period. Results update as you type, and the formula is shown under the result so you can repeat it in your own spreadsheet.
Startup metrics are about the efficiency of growth: how much it costs to win and keep customers, how fast recurring revenue compounds, and how long the cash lasts. Investors read these numbers before they read the pitch. Use the worked example below to check the maths against your own figures.
How the Revenue Growth Calculator works
Compare like periods (this quarter with the same quarter last year) to remove seasonality, and use the compound per-period figure when the two numbers are more than one period apart.
Worked example
With the example values (revenue in the previous period of $1,000,000, revenue in the current period of $1,300,000, periods between them (1 = consecutive) of 1), the revenue growth is 30%; change in revenue $300,000.00, compound growth per period 30%. Change any figure above and the result updates immediately; use Copy results to paste the summary into a note or email.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is revenue growth calculated?
growth = (current − previous) ÷ previous; per period = (current ÷ previous)1/periods − 1.
Which figures do I need?
Revenue in the previous period, revenue in the current period, periods between them (1 = consecutive). Take them from the same period and the same set of accounts or reports so the ratio is consistent, and check the example values as a guide to the units expected.
What do investors consider healthy?
Common benchmarks: LTV:CAC above 3, CAC payback under 12–18 months, net revenue retention above 100%, monthly churn under 2% for SMB and under 1% for enterprise, and at least 12–18 months of runway.
