Note
Simplified model: this is the exact arithmetic of the stated recurrence applied to your inputs, with every rate held constant for the whole horizon. Real businesses see growth, churn, seasonality and costs move, and no projection accounts for competition, financing terms, tax or one-off events. Treat the crossing month as an order of magnitude, not a date, and check it against your own books before committing money.

What's the difference between the growth rate input and the actual growth I've seen historically?+
The growth rate you enter is an assumption applied uniformly going forward, while historical growth is often lumpy, seasonal, or front-loaded by a few large deals. Use an average of several recent periods (not just your best month) as the input, and treat the projection as a scenario, not a guarantee.
Should I use a monthly or annual growth rate, and does it matter?+
It matters a lot because growth rates compound: a 5% monthly rate compounds to roughly 80% annually, not 60%. Always match the rate's time period to the projection's time period exactly, and if you only know an annual figure, convert it to a monthly compounding rate before entering it for a monthly projection.
Why does a small change in the growth rate input swing the long-term projection so much?+
Because growth compounds, small percentage differences widen dramatically over many periods: 3% versus 5% monthly growth looks similar after one month but produces wildly different revenue after two or three years. This is why it's worth running the projection at a low, expected, and high growth rate rather than trusting a single number.
Is constant percentage growth realistic for more than a year or two?+
Rarely. Constant percentage growth implies revenue accelerates in absolute dollar terms forever, which breaks down once a company saturates its market or hits operational limits. Use straight-line compounding for short-term projections (under 12-18 months) and taper the rate, or model an S-curve, for anything longer.
How should I use this projection for planning versus for a pitch deck?+
For internal planning, run it with a conservative rate and stress-test against a lower one, since you'll make hiring and spending decisions based on it. For a pitch deck, be prepared to defend the growth rate assumption with actual historical data, since investors will immediately ask what's driving the number rather than take it at face value.
