Income Goal Calculator

Work backwards from a target and a deadline to the monthly profit your business or side income actually has to produce.

How this is calculated

This works backwards. Given a target and a deadline, it solves the future-value formula for the monthly payment required, accounting for what your existing balance will grow to on its own.

The revenue figure converts that monthly investment into what a business would need to turn over to produce it, at the net margin you set. It is a reality check: a target that needs $8,000 a month invested requires a business doing $32,000 a month at a 25% net margin, which is a very different undertaking from a side project.
