Total launch (with contingency)
Formulas used (simplified)
- Launch = domain + design + development + legal setup + assets + other
- Launch with contingency = launch × (1 + contingency %)
- Monthly burn = ops fixed + marketing
- Conversions = visitors × (conversion % / 100)
- Gross revenue = conversions × revenue per conversion
- Variable costs = gross revenue × variable %
- Operating profit = gross − variable − monthly burn
- Monthly net = operating profit − tax reserve on positive profit
- Payback months = launch with contingency ÷ monthly net (if net > 0)
- Break-even visitors ≈ monthly burn ÷ contribution per visitor
