See the formulas behind these numbers

Year 1 revenue = TAM × penetration × (1 + growth) = $50M × 8% × 1.12 = $4.5M
Year N revenue = Year 1 revenue × (1 + growth)^(N−1)
Net cash (per year) = revenue × gross margin (60%) − OpEx ($2.0M)
Break-even = investment ÷ Year 1 net cash × 12 = 35 mo
5-yr profit = Σ net cash (5 yrs) − investment = $5.1M
ROI = 5-yr profit ÷ investment = 253.8%
IRR = rate where NPV(−investment, net cash yrs 1–5) = 0 = 48.9%

Deterministic — computed in your browser from the sliders above; no AI generates these numbers. Default slider values are illustrative, not benchmarks.

Simplified pre-tax model. Profit = revenue × gross margin − OpEx − initial investment. Excludes taxes, working capital, discounting, and terminal value. IRR is computed from the modeled annual cash flows. Illustrative — not investment advice.

Executive Assessment

In a mature market (12% CAGR), 8% penetration generates $4.5M Year 1 revenue, scaling to $7.0M by Year 5. Total 5-year ROI of 253.8% — compelling under these assumptions — with a 35-month payback period and an estimated 48.9% IRR. This investment case strongly supports capital allocation.
