Revenue Growth Rate Formula
Revenue Growth Rate = (Current Revenue - Previous Revenue) / Previous Revenue × 100
Example Calculation
A company with $800k in Q1 and $1M in Q2:
\frac{1{,}000{,}000 - 800{,}000}{800{,}000} × 100 = 25%
Growth Rate by Time Period
Use different periods depending on what you're measuring:
- Month-over-Month (MoM): Early-stage companies tracking rapid growth
- Quarter-over-Quarter (QoQ): Seasonal businesses; removes noise
- Year-over-Year (YoY): Standard business performance metric; eliminates seasonality
Benchmarks by Stage
| Stage | Expected Growth |
|---|---|
| Pre-seed / seed | 20–50%+ MoM |
| Series A | 3–5× YoY |
| Growth stage | 50–100% YoY |
| Established | 10–30% YoY |
| Mature / public | 5–15% YoY |
