Baremetrics is amazing however quite pricey for small businesses and doesn't really help with the complexity of annual revenue. Running an ARR business is a cashflow challenge. This was created so that I could be more intention with my business budget and less attached to Google Spreadsheets for forecasting profits and losses. Think YNAB meets Baremetrics but for futurecasting. How it works is simple. The setup:
- Download a copy of Calculate ARR and upload to any web server that supports .html files. See installations instructions below.
- Calculate your total revenue for the last 12 months.
- Add all recurring business expenses.
Once a month do the following:
- Duplicate most recent version (your budget) and update date range/revenue numbers.
- Add or adjust any new expenses.
- Export and update your
data.jsonfile.
- Download latest release from https://github.com/anchorhost/calculate-arr.
- Upload folder
/calculate-arr/to any web server via SFTP. - Access your site at
/calculate-arr/and selectEdit Modeto begin entering your information.
This is a very simple .html file. That means no data change will persist without manually effort. Whenever changes have been made you'll need to export a fresh data.json and override the existing one.
Copy your data.json anywhere and everywhere you wish. That's all you need. When restoring simply grab a copy of the latest calculate-arr/index.html from Github.
This couldn't be easier. Simply update index.html from latest release calculate-arr. Be sure to never override your data.json with the sample data.json file.
