Video walkthrough & spreadsheet preview
See the contract assumptions and renewal scenarios in action.
Follow the walkthrough to see how the initial pipeline inputs feed the revenue forecast. Open the screenshots for a closer look at the spreadsheet.
Build the forecast contract by contract
Start with each client's contract terms.
Set the forecast start year, then use the initial pipeline tab to define each contract and its renewal assumptions.
Contract name & start month
Identify each client or contract and enter the month its revenue begins.
Contract term in months
Enter the length of each contract. The renewal checks follow that term, which stays unchanged when the contract renews.
Total contract value
Enter the value associated with the contract term. The template calculates monthly contract value as total value divided by the term in months.
Renewal probability
Assign a renewal probability to each contract and explore how different assumptions change the possible revenue outcomes.
Randomized renewal scenarios
Follow what happens at each renewal date.
The template uses RAND-based calculations to test whether a contract renews. Each run produces a possible revenue path based on the probabilities you enter.
-
Define the starting contracts
Enter the client or contract name, start month, term, total value, and renewal probability in the initial pipeline tab.
-
Test renewal outcomes
At a renewal date, a successful renewal keeps revenue running through another contract term. A failed renewal sets that contract's revenue to zero for the remaining forecast months.
-
Compare five-year revenue scenarios
Review the matrix of possible active contracts and the total five-year contract value. Run the probabilities again or adjust individual assumptions to explore other outcomes.
How to read the results
The same assumptions can produce different renewal outcomes.
A renewal probability drives a renew-or-stop result at each renewal date. Repeated runs help you explore the effect of that uncertainty on total revenue; a single run represents one possible scenario.
From renewal outcomes to revenue reports
Review the forecast at the contract and portfolio level.
See how individual renewal outcomes flow into monthly revenue, annual totals, and the five-year result.
Monthly & annual revenue
Review 60 months of projected revenue and annual totals, with contract-level detail and an aggregate forecast.
Five-year contract value
Use the total five-year contract value to compare the overall revenue produced by different assumptions and renewal outcomes.
Scenario test log
Record results and notes in ten test slots to compare selected runs as you change assumptions or rerun the probabilities.
Four forecast charts
View total annual revenue, the annual client mix in dollars and percentages, and renewal probabilities alongside monthly contract values.
Designed for larger client accounts
Use individual contract assumptions where they matter most.
This template is geared toward businesses with a smaller number of larger clients, where each agreement can materially affect future revenue.
Enterprise or larger contracts
Model clients with different contract values, terms, and renewal probabilities. An account with many smaller users can be represented as one contract if a common total value and term apply to that revenue.
Practical scale
Maintaining individual assumptions becomes more cumbersome beyond roughly 100 clients. The model can be expanded for more accounts, but this is a practical input-management consideration rather than a fixed 100-client limit.

Questions before you buy
A few useful details.
How long is the revenue forecast?
The template forecasts revenue over five years and includes a total five-year contract value for comparing scenarios.
Can contracts have different terms and renewal probabilities?
Yes. Each contract has its own term in months, total value, and renewal probability. A renewed contract continues using the same term length.
What happens when a contract fails to renew?
That contract's revenue becomes zero for the future months in that scenario. It does not automatically restart at a later renewal date.
Why can the results change with the same inputs?
The model uses randomized renewal checks. Repeating the calculation can produce different renewal outcomes even when the contract assumptions remain the same.
Is there a hard limit of 100 clients?
No. The template can be expanded for more clients. Around 100 accounts is a practical point at which maintaining individual contract inputs may become cumbersome, depending on how often those assumptions change.
Is this template included in a bundle?
Yes. It is included in the KPI Dashboards and Sales Pipeline Trackers Bundle.
Which spreadsheet formats are available?
Excel and Google Sheets versions are available. For Google Sheets, follow the template's File > Make a copy instruction to create your own editable version.
