What Is Revenue Growth Rate and Why Is It Valuable?

Revenue Growth Rate measures the percentage increase in revenue over time. It’s a leading indicator in showing how your company is growing.

You must calculate the revenue growth to know if you are growing or now. It can be done on your overall revenue, or the revenue created by the properties in your database (by market, by customer type, by product type, etc.)

How to Calculate

Manually:

[ (%) Revenue Growth TimePeriod B — (%) Revenue Growth TimePeriod A ] / (%) Revenue Growth TimePeriod A = (%) Revenue Growth Rate Change

1. Create a top line calculation for total revenue during the time periods
2. Create a calculation for each segment in your data so you can have a more detailed understanding of how your segments operate.
3. Repeat every month or your desired timeframe

Automate:

At Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, the revenue growth is slowing down 165% compared to the previous 30 day period. I imagine that their golden ticket contest ended for the year and customers were a bit tired of buying their candy products, since all their products revenue growth slowed down, not just the infamous Wonka Bar.
