Projections Template
The following is a 4-step worksheet that will help you estimate your future sales and expenses for your business. This is NOT a document that requires perfect
information - rather these numbers will be based on your best guess of what the future may look like for your business. You can always return to this document
and adjust the numbers as you come across new information, or a situation changes.
While going through these steps, you may find that some categories don't apply to your business - feel free to leave them blank. On the other hand, you may find
that there are not enough categories in a particular worksheet - feel free to add more! This workbook is simply a rough template with suggestions on what might
be relevant for your business. However, you are encouraged to customize it so that it makes sense for your business.
NOTE: Printouts of steps 1 to 4 will NOT be included in your business plan. However, by following these steps (in order), the numbers will automatically populate
the final tab entitled "Projections", which WILL be included in your business plan. If the numbers don't look right to you on the "Projections" tab, go back to Steps
1 - 4 and adjust your numbers until you are satisfied with your projections.
Step 1: Click on the spreadsheet tab on the bottom of this page labeled "Step 1 Sales Projections".
There are 12 categories set up for various product or service categories you may have (e.g. Cookies, Cakes, Desserts or Haircuts, Coloring, Weaves).
If you need more than the 12 categories, you will need to insert the necessary rows and adjust the formulas in the "Total of all categories" row.
If you are unsure how to do this, consult Excel's "Help" area (You can find this in the File menu above) or ask someone who knows Excel.
You can type over the generic "Category" Name and insert one that applies to your business.
Insert the quantity you expect to sell that month and the average price for which you expect to sell your product or service.
You will NOT type numbers into the cells highlighted in yellow (or light yellow). They are calculated automatically for you.
Estimate your sales for 12 months for all of your categories.
Step 2: Click on the spreadsheet tab on the bottom of this page labeled "Step 2 Direct Expenses".
There are many rows listed as "Ingredients/Raw materials" and "Packaging, Labels". You can type over these and insert names applicable to your business.
Enter the amount you expect to spend for each month for each expense line item.
Recall that your direct expenses will be affected by your sales; For example, as sales increase, your direct expenses will increase.
You will NOT type numbers into the cells highlighted in yellow (or light yellow). They are calculated automatically for you.
Step 3: Click on the spreadsheet tab on the bottom of the page labeled "Step 3 Indirect Expenses".
For each line item, enter the amount you expect to spend each month.
There are many rows listed for "Other" expenses. You can type over these and insert names of other indirect expenses that are applicable to your business.
Your indirect expenses MAY be affected by sales (for example, you may need a larger space if your sales increase a lot); they may be affected by other items
such as marketing plans, etc.
You will NOT type numbers into the cells highlighted in yellow (or light yellow). They are calculated automatically for you.
Step 4: Click on the spreadsheet tab on the bottom of the page labeled "Step 4 Other Data".
Enter the four pieces of data necessary to complete the projections.
Some Advice….
You only need to print the "Projections" Sheet and include this with your business plan.
The various steps you went through are just for you and don't need to be included in your business plan.
You should review the projection to see if it appears reasonable given your business. If the projection doesn't look right to you, go back to steps 1 - 4 and adjust
your numbers.
After you have filled out all four tabs and have your "Projections" tab automatically populated, you may want to print out the "Projections" sheet.
The print option has been set to print the entire projection to one page. If you have difficulty reading the print out and wish to print your projection on multiple pages,
follow the instructions below:
NOTE: Write the following instructions on a scrap paper, and make sure you are on the "Projections" tab when you begin the instructions.
Click on the "Page Layout" tab at the top of the screen.
Then, click on "Print Titles".
In the dialogue box that comes up, select the "Page" tab.
Under "Scaling", click "Adjust to" and set this to 100% normal size.
Now, print! You can also save your projections as a PDF and add them electronically to your business plan.
